I read that Old 98 was closed, is it the whole road or just washed out sections. We have a condo at Geronimo and Old 98 (about 3/4 mile from Silver Sands Outlet) at the Beach House Condominiums and are trying to get an idea of how they fared. Last year with Ivan the pool fell onto the beach and our unit is in one of the buildings closest to the beach so we are keeping our fingers crossed. If anyone has any info on it or the area, or if that section of road is open it would be greatly appreciated.
Yesterday, the Sheriff's Office had Old 98 closed off beginning on the east side of Capt Dave's on the Gulf (which is living up to its name) and how far east, I do not know. That area around the Crab Trap faired better than after Ivan, but I am sure it doesn't look pretty from the beach. Power was out yesterday. My guess, just a good guess is that it is NOT closed all the way to Geronimo St. However, if your pool fell into the Gulf after Ivan, I would be a little concerned about the potential damage. You never know, I did not expect Pompano Joes to still have a parking lot, which it lost with Ivan, but it is still there. Maybe there is nothing holding up the asphalt
. I, as well as many others on this board, will keep my fingers crossed for you.
