Hurricane Gustav photos, videos, webcams

We went down to the beach and took some photos today:

Some folks decided to use the dunes instead of ducking under the tape.

The Sea oats are being replanted as mother nature sees fit.

Stallworth Lake got some saltwater.

If you're missing the last two steps of your walk over they are located near the Stallworth Lake outflow.

The second wave break is where the normal water level is.

Here's some video, no sound it was just wind.

...and your point is?..

.

It's a complete waste of time and money to try and rebuild barrier islands. All they are is big sandbars. I would think with all of the anti-government waste people would be up in arms ove $17 million dollars just washing out to sea. :shock:

I think it's a complete waste of time and money to try to rebuild ANY BEACHES--barrier islands or not.

Haha...were you following us??? This looks like the same pictures we took at South Bishop-Stallworth yesterday! That's interesting.

We have pics from Grayton and Eastern Lake- I'll post later when the boys upload them for me.

It was so strange at Grayton- the water was up to the flagpole. I thought I knew that beach so well, but was completely disoriented, especially when the 'No Vehicles Pat this Point" sign is in the water!

Thanks so much to the family that was asked nicely to get out of the dunes, and they replied 'Well, there's no beach to walk on!"

Any Big Blue Sign Fatalities?

We went around 5pm, there was a very timid couple at the top of the stairs who didn't look like they wanted to brave the sand.

Thanks, Steele Mama! Proof positive that some people are drawn to water--flag or no--like moths to the flame.

Ha ha. We weren't the timid couple...went a little before you then... maybe we met each other when we were coming back and you guys were just going out. Anyway, it was great and we'll be there tomorrow. We're staying at Cypress Dunes...as usual.
