Hurricane Dennis Damage
On July 10th 2005 hurricane Dennis hit the gulf coast as a catagory 1 storm with top winds of 90 mph. Fortunately for those of us on highway 30-A, the eye of the storm passed just 70 miles west near Navarre, FL. There was absolutley no damage to Shutters, but because of a series of storms and hurricanes over the past 10 months (Ivan, Arlene, and Cindy) the beach dunes have been serverly eroded. All 56 public beach access walkovers were destroyed, and access to the beach was severly limited.
7/12/05 - The beach at Shutters was beautiful and without debris.
1/2 mile east the sand had eroded down to a layer of black clay..
Thousands of years ago this beach was a cedar swap. In some places tree stumps were uncovered.
Red flags still fly 3 blocks east at the Bramble Street walkover.
A ladder was nailed to what's left of the Andalusia Street walkover.
Grant (8) makes his way down this very treacherous make shift walkover.
These condos in Seagrove are closed for repair or possible rebuild.
Not all homes escaped Dennis' force. These originally sat on a dune.
The wheel chair access at One Seagrove was completely destroyed.
The Villas At Seagrove are closed indefinitely.
Grant and Lindsay prefer the pool!
Shutters by the Sea received no damage at all!
