No. Thank you so much for asking
If you are watching the news ............. I am St. Augustine Beach and the videos coming in from St. Augustine are devastating and heartbreaking. The Old City is one of my favorite places, right up there with Disney. It's just a really special place. The last few years it has had all the empty stores and restaurants revitalized, so much new construction and renovation of the old places. It truly has it's own soul. Even getting a new Embassy Suites on the beach - which will then let the secret out. As a Hilton Honors person we were always hunting for hotels on beaches to use points before we had our own spot.
We found one picture up A1A from us about a couple of blocks and wind damage but no standing water ... but not sure if it was before or after eye came by. The videos just have put all kinds of bad thoughts in the head. Uncharted territory for St. Augustine, I think nothing huge since the 60's. A short time ago the mayor of St. Augustine Beach (we are technically a mile south) said "catastrophic surge damage" ....... am sure part is referring to the beach. The beaches there are so pretty especially in Anastasia State Park.
They will not let anyone (videos were sneakers during the storm) on the island until they check all out, probably sometime tomorrow. We are a townhouse in a condo community so we are depending on management to make assessments then give us the news. Hoping tomorrow or Sunday. On the plus side we are on a strange ridge of land that actually is not required to have flood insurance - how you can be 250 yards from the beach and not have it - but we have it anyway. When I checked NOAA Surge Predictors, we show as safe. Of course not from wind and driving rain, and there is a cool pond behind us that I think is built to not overflow but when there is that much water you don't know.
I just replanted my garden, even using the ferns at AoA by the Nemo buildings to make it look Under the Sea. They needed to be watered, but not this much ............ FINGERS CROSSED!
My garden and our piece of beach aka heaven.
