CANCELLED--Perdido Bay Boat Ramp Groundbreaking Today




Due to the loss of life in the county and the serious injury sustained by another citizen, as well as the significant damage around the area and reports of a tornado in Pensacola Beach necessitating  staff to be at the Emergency Operations Center this morning--we are CANCELLING this morning's planned groundbreaking ceremony at the site of the future Perdido Bay Boat Ramp.

My apologies for the late cancellation--we will attempt to re-schedule this in the near future if it is practical to do so.

In speaking with staff early this morning--this was determined to be the best course of action due to the serious weather we all experienced last night, flooding, roadway issues, as well as the potential for additional storms over the next several days.

The EOC is activated and staff will meet there this morning at 0730.

Good you activated EOC. Good training exercise also for the upcoming hurricane season.

What is the story with Forest Creek Apartment 🤔 /s

As I recall past D2' "Bully who can't fix *anything* " took care of that. /s

Pretty cool video of the Deputy and citizen being sucked through the drainage pipe.
Probably going viral.

Glad I heed warnings myself.
