We are 6 miles as the crow flies from the beach but a few hundred yards from the East Bay. Cat 5 Hurricane Michael’s eye came straight across our house in 2018. Pretty much leveled the area.
I have spent quite some time in the past looking at the damage from Michael on Google Maps. They had new satellite images up not long after it hit. That was a bad one. Used to vacation in Mexico Beach as a kid. Hope you recovered okay.
