Don't worry, SR, I live there and stayed here during the storm. Luckily for us, it went further east than they anticipated. All we got was a day of rain and winds that may have gusted to 50 mph. We didn't even lose our power. We were spared, but Panama City, Mexico Beach and Apalachicola got hammered. You are right, this is a beautiful place and we are lucky to live here.
Glad you made it through ok; the folks who got hammered got hit hard it looks like.

Thanks for the update on Hwy 30A, Cheerleader. So the 'Seeing Red' wine festival should be a go. Not going this year, but have in the past. Just a great event and time always.
