Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

My friends returned from Panama City yesterday and the beaches were great. For the most part you should be ok...
-
I just traded emails with one of my business partners who is on the beach at Destin right now. He said there is no sign or smell of oil in that area (yet).
He is packing up to come home tomorrow or I would get you further updates. -
Thanks, that is the problem.
800 mile drive and get in on the 15th till the 26th.
Looking like time to pull the plug. Most worried on the smell coming off the water.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -
According to the news the oil is 7 miles off shore. Not sure who everyone is, but everyone is frantically trying to stop the slick from hitting that snow white sand..
I heard this on TV a few days back. -
Come down a little more. Clearwater and St. Pete should be fine.
-
I heard tar balls already.
-
the news showed some suspected tar balls as well as an ice chest that had floated ashore and had the orange substance all over it.
-
Oil is on the beach in Panama City.
They are protecting the wetlands and inshore waterways more than the beaches. They state that beaches are easier to clean up and there will be less damage to plants and wildlife than if oil gets into the marshes and similar areas. -
Maybe no oil there, but do you have any idea the kind of people they allow to inhabit those areas?
-
Well me for one, maybe that does explain it...
-
That snow white sand is a limestone composite made from centuries of coral decay. If that oil hit that sand it will be black for decades..
Yes the wildlife and marshlands need to be protected and should be, but they aren't cleaning up that sand anytime soon. -
Hasn't he arrested most of them???
-
No he just gives them directions,, to much paperwork with an arrest :ohmy:
-
I live in Mobile (well inland) and though I have friends who say they can smell "something" - I have not. I have a friend with a place in Orange Beach, they went out fishing early this week for the opening of snapper season - came back with the limit. They didn't go out very far. Also, local news reports show tar balls on Dauphin Island, Fort Morgan, and Gulf Shores (the west end). I guess we all fear the worst, and when we see reports of birds covered in oil it's hard to watch.

Mickey, Our store is on Rt 98 one mile west of the outlet mall across from Seascape. As of right now, people are still in the water. But it looks like tarballs are in Narvarre Beach. Walton County has plans to be out there taking care of the beach 24/7. So it all depends on wind and currents. If you come down, stop by and say hello.
