ow for Hurricane Michael it was beautiful two days before it landed and the day before it hit other than some clouds you would’ve had no idea what was offshore. Between that, no AC and the mosquitos I can see why the gulf coast wasn’t as populated back then.

We were staying in PSJ and evacuated the day before Michael hit. We were at stump hole playing in the water 12 hours before it took out the entire town and everything near it. 24 hours before, you had no idea. 12 hours before, the surf was rough but still swimmable off CSB. We were there in July, they are still trying to rebuild. Mexico Beach is lagging way behind

Most of the people down there were working class or retirees and underinsured.

So their 1970’s bungalow got wiped out and instead of retiring by the ocean they had to move because they couldn’t afford to rebuild with the new hurricane codes.

Was really sad hearing some of their stories. A lot of what’s going up now looked to me to be out of state rental type houses, that town will never be the same.
