Thank you so much for the pics of dune allen by oyster lake. The laignappe house looks like it did pretty well. Looks like a lot of stuff washed up next to it.

I don't know this, but that area is where there is a ton of trash. I *think* the county cleared the beach and put it all there, as the rest of 30a is relatively clear of debris. Anyone know this to be true or false?

These two are the closest shots I have to your house. The Lake was, and is, very high. Hope your house faired well. You have a nice home with awesome views. My guess is that your pool may be filled with some beach sand.

Your house is to the right, just outside of this second photo.

SJ, thank you AGAIN for posting these pics and answering our posts! See my response to your reply to the "Laignappe" inquiry for more heartfelt thanks! You've been awesome! Wish we could somehow return the favor!?!

Thanks,
Allison

My oldest kid just asked me if The Back Porch, in Destin, survived..I told him I'd ask, but I'm not hopeful..

Smilin' Joe, thanks for all your photos! For the first time ever, I am glad to not have a house on the beachside of BMBeach Road! Of course, if the erosion keeps up, I guess we will have that view, after all.

That area at Oyster Lake is like a magnet for walkovers with every storm. Need some good lumber? It coul be like Pixie Sticks (or whatever the game is called).

What, the county work? Get out of here. Very much not true about them moving the debris. They did move it from the road. FYI - If you notice sewage smells anywhere, don't walk around barefoot. There was definitely some sewage spillage here and there, and in this area of Dune Allen too. I saw the guys pumping it out later, but bacteria may still be around these spills. Use good judgement.

Does all of the beach at Grayton look like this, I mean with small lakes all around?

Hi Philip,

We weathered Arlene since we were moving our furniture in that w/e and after Arlene, that beach next to Laignappe was littered with debris (not quite as bad as these pics, but still bad). By the next w/e the debris was all piled up next to houses along the beach at Oyster Lake. Looks to me like that the OL inlet at Laignappe is just a debris "catch all" for these storms.

The house looks pretty good though. Hope you still get to go down. We're in ATL also!

Best wishes,
Allison

Any other word on damage in the walton lakeshore area, specifically shoreline 9 condos?

That is the only one I saw, but it will soon drain. There are spots here and there that had water, like under the Washaway House, but don't expect them to be permanent fixtures.
