Mexico Beach DESTROYED!

3/13/2019

Hurricane Michael hits the Gulf and travels N-NE on October 10th, 2018. Fast forward to today, Ginger and I drove through the Panhandle through Mexico Beach this week to see first-hand the wrath of Hurricane Michael. The Category 4 Hurricane hit the Florida Panhandle region, with maximum sustained wind speeds of 155 mph and a minimum pressure 919 mb. The storm caused catastrophic damage from wind and storm surge, particularly in the Panama City Beach to Mexico Beach to Cape San Blas areas.
​

Essentially, every home and business was destroyed, the area as we saw it looks like the storm hit yesterday, large (expensive) homes being rebuilt (here and there), but nothing - NOTHING being rebuilt one block in and further. The only human activity we saw were contractors and crews operating cleanup equipment. No local grocery stores were standing let alone open. So sad. Keep everyone in your prayers ... it will be a long time before the area comes back.
