My son said there was talk at the high school about them closing the schools tomorrow due to the weather, has anyone heard anything or know where to look for this info online?

Meaning? You already know the answer? The school board posts that info here first? :dunno: There is no where else to find that info? :roll:

Yes, there is a place to find the info- the Walton County School District website. They post cancellation info as soon as it happens.

Walton County Schools

However, you will probably hear it first on SoWal, because most people don't hang out and look at the WCSD website. That goes for most other local news as well- SoWal. com breaks it before anyone, hands down.

And there is no indication from the WCSD website that school will be closed tomorrow.

Thanks. I still want to keep up with it since my sons teacher agreed that she had heard the schools might be closed as well and yes, I know about the news on the SoWal forum, I have been here on the forum 3 years and have lived in this area for almost 30.
I just hate how hard it is to find news for South Walton anywhere else and am always trying to see if anyone has any better links than I do.

Bay county schools open on Tueday

I just hate how hard it is to find news for South Walton anywhere else and am always trying to see if anyone has any better links than I do.

On WJHG (Ch 7) TV 5 o'clock news, they announced that Bay county schools would stay open. Forgetting that they had just shown the weather map all the way to Destin and said the words "Seagrove Beach". Why do they have such a hard time serving us in Walton county?

WMBB usually does a good job as do most sources, they can't release news they have not received yet. :dunno: If the county or the school has not announced anything, they can't report. I just left the office and we were just finishing up printing the Beach Breeze and I have not received any press from anyone on this except for this from the WCSO:

The National Weather Service in Tallahssee has issued a flood watch for Shoal River near Mossy Head. A strong wet gulf system will bring heavy rain fall across the panahndle in the next 24 to 48 hours. This watch is in effect until Thursday afternoon. (3 hours ago)


And this from 4 hours ago.
SEVERE WEATHER ALERT: Expect tonight to bring strong to severe storms south of I-10 in Walton County with gale conditions over coastal waters w/ 10-14 foot seas off shore, and tide 3-4 feet above normal high tide.



The WCSO has been doing a good job on their web site and their FB page.
WMBB has a vol. evac on Franklin County.

Sorry poor taste joke, I hate being offensive and it was not my intention. Call it lack of sleep. I'm very sorry it upset anyone.
