I just realized there used to be a TDC trash can at the end of that boardwalk. gone baby gone

Not necessarily. They removed over 160 yesterday before the storm came so it may have already been taken.

Interesting video from Navarre Beach (just East of Pensacola) of today's storm surge.

This beach was renourished after Hurricane Ivan...

Mother Nature apparently wants her sand back.

Shelly,
I watched this twice. Thanks for posting. So beautiful and moving, in a sad sort of way.

I watched every minute of it.....just love the soothing music. Thank you!!

"Mother Nature apparently wants her sand back."


And it looks like a few hapless fools wanted to see where she was taking it, too. Thank god there were lifeguards telling them to get their sorry bodies out of the surf or they'd surely have been headed to the depths of Davy Jones' locker. Where's the common sense?

I'd have chosen a bit of Peter Grimes for that video instead of the treacle that accompanied it. Barf. There's nothing wimpy about Mother Nature...

Excellent choice.



Squalls out on the gulf stream,
Big storms coming soon.
I passed out in my hammock,
God, I slept way past noon.
Stood up and tried to focus,
I hoped I wouldn't have to look far.
I knew I could use a Bloody Mary,
So I stumbled next door to the bar.

[Chorus:]
And now I must confess,
I could use some rest.
I can't run at this pace very long.
Yes, it's quite insane,
I think it hurts my brain.
But it cleans me out and then I can go on.

There's something about this Sunday
It's a most peculiar gray
Strolling down the avenue
That's known as A1A
I was feeling tired, then I got inspired.
And I knew that it wouldn't last long
So all alone I walked back home, sat on my beach
And then I made up this song.

[Chorus]

Well, the wind is blowin' harder now
Fifty knots of there abouts,
There's white caps on the ocean.
And I'm watching for water spouts
It's time to close the shutters
It's time to go inside.
In a week I'll be in gay Paris;
That's a mighty long airplane ride.

[Chorus]
Yes, It cleans me out and then I can go on.

Shelly,

The reason that Navarre gets erosion so bad is the same reason that Cape San Blas gets it. They are both [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrier_island"]barrier islands[/ame].
