Yes, so far no one has even been able to pick out the remains on the ariel of the beaches.

I am sure they will rebuild. It has been there far too many years.

Sad day indeed. :cry: There's decades of memories there on Perdido Key for lots of us Gulf Coasters.

Here's to the hope that they can recover from this and the Mullet Toss will live again!

I certinaly hope they didn't stay there. They are smart people, I think they just wanted a cute saying on the website.

It will probably be awhile before anyone can get down there, much bigger roads have been totally washed away. And as ya'll know, it is a drive down there from the main roads in either FL or AL.

:( That's sad! I'm sure it will be sorely missed by all the people who used to hang out there.

It may not be, on Ch.8 News in N.O., the reporter also said that but a pic from a copter showed what looked to the Florabama. They weren't sure it was it or a building that looked just like it. Anyone know anything about this?
