Fay blew herself away!

We had a lot of communications about "Fay", the storm, that blew through here last weekend. Lots of wind and water as it came through Carrabelle and Franklin County along Highway 98. Michael Leo went out and took photos of what our homes looked like right after the storm, and here they are. The grass is very green!

We are high and dry at SeaSide Village. While the Gulf Coast and marina are right down the street, we are built high enough that there is not going to be any flooding. We're also told that hurricanes and storms seem to miss Carrabelle because of our location in the "crook" of the eastern part of the Panhandle.

In fact, our roofs are virtually bolted down so they are not going anywhere. With the quality of our construction, it is my personal contention that if there is a hurricane, you'd want to hole up with all your neighbors in one of our SeaSide houses 'cause it's the safest place to be!

Now it is back to fishing. And today is primary election day. We're going to find out who Pinki will be facing in the general election for a seat on the County Commission.
