Wow! As painful as these are to see, thank you for posting. I have been wondering how bad the beaches were impacted by that storm. So sad. Our beaches are disappearing right before our eyes :(

We were at Blind Creek on Sunday and it showed some sign of high tide but very minor if any damage except that a good amount of sand is gone but nothing like what happen at Playalinda.

Went to Playalinda this morning, Saturday, 11/14. Crossovers 8, 10, 11 and 12 are closed and impassable. Boardwalks look OK from the parking lot side, but are totally trashed or missing on the beach side. All other crossovers are pretty much normal, except 13 ramp is closed, - must use the stairs. It is obvious that tides over-ran the dunes in most places and even deposited a small sandbar on the road in, (since cleared). The beaches have a different look, perhaps not as wide, buy maybe too soon to tell, - Nature is constant change. Everyone I spoke with was surprised by the amount of destruction caused by this storm, - not even a hurricane, but Playalinda will survive. By noon the parking lot was full and folks cruising for an opening, - situation normal. Stay naked, stay happy!

Appreciate the update.was planning to go next week when back in Florida. Will hold off until I hear a better update.
I go to St Georges Island and go down a ways and layout.they got hammered by Michael 3 years ago and took a year to get it back up and usable.just now starting to look normal again.
