Hurricane Season Has Arrived (Arlene Info)

I just posted photos in my album taken between 10:00-11:00am this morning, before high tide, from Grayton, west, thru Dune Allen.

Great shots Joe! :clap_1:

More pics - some taken at 10:30 this morning at Seaside and Seagrove at the Andalusia walkover - and others taken at 12:30 - beaches are pretty bad.

That second photo with the Rentals sign is not a good one for tourism, eh? The photo itself is a great shot.

Kurt, while the subject in your latest post of photos is hard on the eyes, your photography remains some of the best I've seen.

Thanks! - it looks like the water was higher this morning than when I went out around noon.

Right!

Here's the link to the pics SJ is talking about:

Should have mentioned that was Cabana Man's former house for beach rentals. I personally have not been in that direction - my daughter took that one this morning. It sure looks like rocks also on the beach in that pic.

I know that so much of the sand that had been brought in to our Seagrove area is now back in the gulf.

That's sad to hear. Hopefully it won't be a total loss.

More pics - it is hard to see Cabana Man in the 3rd pic - covered with suds.

Hi Kurt,

Nice pics, as always.

At the Eastern Lake outflow shot, did you notice how the houses on the Western side of the outflow were faring? Last few times I've been down the outflow has been getting closer and closer to them. Especially the one right next to that public access. They didn't seem to have have much left before the outlet would be under their deck.

Just curious.

The water was under the deck on the easternmost house. That's what Larry was looking at when he waded out into the water. This pic is right on the corner.

I hope the damage is minimal..I hate seeing all the sand wash back out again!

Sooo, I'm just lurking here, trying to decide if we should head out tomorrow a.m. or wait until later tomorrow afternoon. All depends on 331 bridge, naturally.

I suppose we'll spend a lot of time at the pottery place in Seaside, if the weather doesn't clear..of course the boys will want to surf.

I think it will be nice tomorrow. Might get some showers, and it will be breezy. It will take awhile for the water to recede, but the beach will be interesting.

Thanks Kurt,

As you're out and about in the next day or so, if you could let me know if the dune walkovers at Ramsgate survived (both the public one and the private one from the Ramsgate deck), I'd appreciate it.

Where is Ramsgate?

Where is Ramsgate?

It's on the beach behind Summer's Edge in Seagrove.

The water was probably under it, hope the pilings were set deep. Angie at Beach Seekers probably knows. I left her a voice mail.

:rofl:

Found a few hurricane haiku's. I especially liked the last one!

rain rain go away
come again some other day
dreary walls ugh bleah

Thanks for all the info and photos!

We have had less rain last night and today than we received the last time it rained.

Could be, but the water didn't get past the dunes and under the deck during Ivan and I was expecting Ivan's effect to be a lot worse than Arlene's.

Course the dunes were in better shape pre-Ivan. Even so, I'm surprised by the damage shots we're seeing with Arlene.

I'm so glad to see that most of the heavier affects of this one were to the west of beloved Seagrove...does that seem to be the case for those of you who are on the scene?

I just returned from a week at Coach Bobby Bowden's home (Coach's Lair - Deer Lake Dunes) and while the red flag flew the majority of the week and kept the kids out of the water, we had a wonderful time (Angelina's twice in one week, Old Bay Steamers in Destin, a round at Camp Creek...and took the kids to the dreaded Big Kahuna and Track in Destin).

Stay safe...praying this year is a bit more kind to all you special folk.

I didn't know he had a place here. Good news!!! :clap_1:


















If I ever commit a felony he'll be able to help me reduce it to a misdemeanor. :roll:

Yeah his family does. So does Tuberville. We always get tons of those kinds of 'celebrity' sitings in the summer, since they are so busy in the Fall and Winter.

I did see one of them Baby Bowdens here a couple of years ago, i think he's been on TV a lot.

This one??
