I'm in Destin right now. I have yet to see any real damage to anything except for what is on the beach front. The beach is far more erroeded than I had antcipated. It appears that the water line has come in about 40 yds, from the time I was here last year. The water is a very murky brown, and all the beaches are gray looking. Not the same Destin I remebered. There are beaches open, but they are double red flag. You cannot go in the water, and they recommend you wear some kind of footwear, because there is an extremely large amount of debris. There is also heavy machinery all on the beaches trying to clean some things up. I'm staying right of Old hwy 98, and I walked across the street to the beach and as I did, from where the beaches erroded is about a 12 foot drop. The only halfway descent beaches that are open are near sea grove and seaside. The farther east you go the better. Good luck to anyone that comes down here. It might be a little depressing, especially since its forcasted to rain all the way to next Friday. It's been raining and overcast here for the last day and a half.
