Hurricane damage at The Crab Trap on Scenic Highway 98 on Monday morning. Boardwalks were once again pushed up into the parking lot, but the damage was not as severe as that caused by Hurricane Ivan in September of 2005. We thought it was over, but next year Hurricane Dennis did the same thing to this parking lot. ▲

Every time a hurricane comes through our area, Highway 98 between Okaloosa Island and Destin gets washed out, taking weeks or months to repair. Eventually, the powers that be got smart and built piers under the roadway. So when future storms wash the sand away, the road stays right where it is because it was not resting on the sand beneath. ▲
