Hurricane Ike Storm Surge


Take a look at some of the photos I captured this morning. This is all a direct result of Hurricane Ike who is more than 300 miles South of us and isn't projected to hit anywhere near us. Amazing isn't it? The storm surge has brought water from the Gulf of Mexico all the way over a major Highway in our area, causing it to completely close down. Granted this is not near the amount of surge I witnessed during Hurricanes Ivan and Dennis but it is still impressive, especially given how far away we are from the storm. Just goes to show you that a Hurricane projected to hit Texas touches us here on the Emerald Coast.
