Thanks for the heads up! Alex has made a jog to the North. We must keep a close eye on Alex.

 

They better get that opened up I am not sitting the 4th of July Ferry Line on Friday.

 

You better file the complaint with Mother Nature NOW... you know she works on her own time :wink:.

 

Bobby how is the water looking in the canal's? Wondering what kind of mess I'm going to have to clean up in the garage when I can get down there.

 

I haven't been to any of the canals yet. If I do I will take a couple pictures. Which one you on?

 

In the old blue water sub-division off O'neil. Don't make a special trip but Thanks if you get out.

 

Guess I should have finshed that before I hit submit..... O'neil and Nelson lane.

 

I had already left before you put the address. Here are some pictures.

 

some more

 

you were on Oneal and didn't head south?

 

Beach water hadn't made it on the roads near Monkhouse as of this morning but there is seaweed in the dunes.

 

I didnt get a chance to get my travel trailer out of there. If anyone knows of how high the water is on the closed section of the HWY let me know. I was directly across the street from the (5) super high houses with concrete pillars that made it through IKE, East of Rollover.

 

Mike that is where the water is coming across the road. One of the reasons the road is closed. Unless you live somewhere past rollover pass you can't get through to see what it looks like.

 

Man lost a house, and now maybe the new travel trailer I GIVE UP.

 

I tried to go past rollover today but that HP and local cops told me NO!

 

Is that last picture looking West or East?

 

last pic on right is looking west.

for those who don't know, hwy 87 flooding and the ferry closing (tide too high) were the reasons many were trapped on bolivar after waiting too long to leave. the surge arrived hours before the bad weather.

 

Thanks Bobby.

It is comforting to know we can get a fast heads-up on whats happening on the peninsula from you.

I had my boat lifted waaaay high in the lift at Laguna Harbor....and I havent heard from the lady caretaker there about any problem, so I am good.

But these big wide storms are a new breed. The satellite images remind me of Ike....the storm takes up the whole gulf no matter where the eye is headed. After Ike there was talk the Cat system based solely on wind was insufficient for a storm like Ike....maybe for Alex too. A broad slow moving storm even with modest winds sho moves a lot of water across the whole gulf shoreline.

 

Never mind I see the old harware sign.

 

Thanks Bobby. Looks like it's at the top of bulk heads now so that put's it about a foot or so to the garage floor.

 

Here you go Mike77015, my buddy took this either last night or early this morning before it closed. I got the email this morning.

 

Well the trailer is still there thanks.

 

Alex sucks. We were trying to get into our new beach house by the 4th but Alex has just set us back 2-3 days or longer. No workers can get down there now. Hope they open the hwy soon. Maybe next week for final inspection if we are lucky. sad_smiles

 

Where is your beach house?

 

Emerald Beach 1. Can't wait to get back as it's been way to long now.

 

That should not be a problem with the contractors. The ferry is running and the road is open all the way to Rollover pass.

 

PiratesRun, sorry you did not make it for the 4th. But it will be great
when they finish. We had our pilings set yesterday and was thinking
we might have it framed by next week. ronnie

 

They are expecting the water to go over the road on both sides of Rollover today.

 

So I am back to it was there. :headknock

 

Anybody know when the roads will be open? Is the water over the beach still?
