Hurricane Ike photos, video, webcams

Here are some photos I took from the Crab Trap. The water has breached the small berm in a few places, so it is starting to come under the boardwalk there. The photo with the house is at Destiny By The Sea.

Many thanks, Yippie, for keeping us up-to-date with pictures.

After Gustav I noticed that the beach was shrinking, I think the slight illusion of sand covering a few steps is misleading. The Gulf is reclaiming the beach very quickly and it wouldn't surprise me if some houses are in big trouble from the erosion.

inside635, you're welcome.

Sowalgayboi - You're right. However, some houses are already in trouble in Destin. ( I KNOW it isn't sowal, but we are neighbors).

The Northwest Florida Daily News and Destin Log have several photos. A couple of them show the first three houses (close to the beach) in Destin Point already taking in water and in trouble. Jetty East's Parking lot under the building is cracking away.

Old Pt. Washington and Grayton Beach. Western Lake has been sucked back inland. I expected it to break through but it is doing the opposite.

I was at Santa Rosa Beach Club today, the water was up to the sea wall...the waves were huge and the beach was nonexistent! I can not even imagine what it is like in the event of a true hurricane HERE!

waters recede from 98 by Saturday afternoon?

Hey guys,

Supposed to travel from Pensacola to Seacrest tomorrow afternoon.

You think 98 will still be closed?
