Donna (TX), your neighbor told me that they are not going to charge you for all that sand which they deposited on your porch and the beach below your porch.
So far, you faired well. We are not through it yet. This storm is large enough that the water may not supside until tomorrow. We could be in danger at the next high tide if the water stays up, and more rain falls. Hope for the best.

From the Walton County website:
Wind speed at the Choctawhatchee Bay Bridge was 39 mph sustained at the 9:30 am reading on Monday, August 29. Closure of the bridge at 40 mph sustained winds is eminent, and those who must get to the north side of the Bay must cross as soon as possible.

You are correct. They never got around to capping it off with the required 3ft of white 8.1 sand. Go figure. I guess it doesn't matter anyway, because the beach will be a mix now anyway, due to the relaxing of the rules, and the lack of monitoring the work being done.

Would not suprise me as the winds have picked up and the power is flickering on and off.

Good Morning everyone catching up on all the Katrina news. I'm sitting here watching FOX news and those weather men are crazy down there in MS. I know the wind isn't as furious in Sowal as it is there, but Smiling Joe and the rest of you getting out to survey and take pictures be careful and my prayers are with you and everyone on The Gulf Coast.
Hey Chris,
We're just a little north of you, on the same bayou. So far water hasn't reached the Dennis peak, but it's still early. I was just about to head down to 30-A to start surveying damage, until saw your post about the bridge being closed. By the way--what is the "SO channel"? Guess I'll be hunkered down for awhile.
If you're where I think you are, I recall some of the houses in that area had water in them after Ivan. If you need to move north a little we have an extra room and lots of beers.
Must love dogs--cause they'll be lovin' you whether you do or not.
