Dennis - damage reports & requests - merged to this thread

[physes]

From all that I have been reading it sounds like the area and all were pretty lucky and safe. We are supposed to be checking in on July 16 and we are staying in a house on Thyme Street in Seagrove. If I remember correctly the beach access there is relatively steep. I am sure that most of the walkovers in that area are gone because of the posts about Seaside. Does anyone know if there will be any access to the beach there or if there is any beach? Just curious, if at all possible we are still coming. I am glad everyone is OK.

Over the next few days Kurt or someone local will post a Walton County beach access update list. From what I recall there are some flat access areas to the beach throughout 30-A and definitely in Seagrove--so you can get to the beach even if walkovers are not yet restored.

Does anyone have any info about Beachside Condos? They are directly across the street fromButterfly Bicycle shop. After Ivan the beach was almost washed out from under a few condos - I was wondering if Dennis had done more damage? Also, can you see any damage to the townhomes in front along 30A?

Are they letting people return home yet?

Love to know how the Bullard House held up? Left on Saturday afternoon hoping it will hang on as it has before. It is so hard to watch from TX and not be there.

Hey mom and Jenna (Physes and Jennifer)!!! We are so excited to get back to the beach!! We will see you there and our family will do all we can to help in the clean up!!

I have enjoyed being able to be a part of the last couple of days with you guys through this mess- thank you for the messages and the updates.

When you are renters you get to live in a little bit of paradise at least for a week!! Thank you beach natives for making it such a great place to stay! :clap_1:
You will find us on the sand in one week!!

About 45 members of my mom's family have several of the Grayton Beach State Park Cabins booked starting next weekend. We are comming from several states and I was wondering the condition of the cabins and that part of the beach. We are hoping it will still work out. Due to the large numbers, it will be hard to find something else with such short notice as we have all already arranged to be off of work during that week (the 16-23). We did this last year and loved it and have been very excited about returning. Any information would be appreciated. We need to make a decision as soon as we can so we can get other options coordinated, hopefully not though, Grayton Beach is definatly my first choice.

Is is safe to assume that there is power in the Seacrest area?

There is power on the eastern end of 30A including both CHELCO and Gulf Power customers, i.e., Inlet to Seagrove. Of course there may be isolated homes with no power, but nothing widespread.

WOW....I was holding my breath while watching the hurricane pass over you guys! Glad to hear you didn't get it too bad!
Kurt, just wanted to stop by here and send you all well wishes.....as Grayton Beach has a very special place in my heart as you know!
By the way, incredible photo of the buried staircase with the storm clouds in the foreground!
Take good care ya'll!

Re: Dennis - damage reports

Our house, which is opposite the Washaway House on the north, had a couple of Hardy board pieces down and a puddle standing around the house, some seawater in the pool.

It sounds like you are talking about Conch Out. That is our house also. We were there just last week. My wife and I were that last ones to leave the house around 5:00 PM Friday. We wanted to cry thinking we might be the last ones to stay there. I am glad to hear that the house faired so well. Thanks so much for the update. :clap_1:
