The one I saw this morning had it passing further west and cutting into Ga. but this one puts it right over Jax. I havene't heard if Mayport has been evacuated. they normally send empty the port rather than trying to ride out the storm.
When we first got our place in Destin, Sandestin was a lonely little resort out in the middle of nowhere, with the nearest business being the Publix on 98 4 miles away. We could take the little coast road to the Back Porch, which was then nothing more than a beachside shack that served cold beer and great sandwiches. Now, well....you see what it is now. We hardly go there at all in the summer any more. We use it primarily in Sept-Oct, and May. Grayton Beach, Seaside, and Seagrove will soon be joining the trend that Destin took I'm afraid. The state park at Seaside may be enough to preserve it as there's not many places to build, but I wouldn't count on it. We'll see. Hopefully with Panama City undergoing a re-vitalization, it will take some of the pressure off of those quaint little beachside communities for development. It would be nice to see at least some of the Emerald Coast remain untouched by big development.
