According to the Weather Channel, Highway 98 has at least one washout west of the Destin bridge.  No indication of when it might open again.

Yes they are routing all traffic thru Blue Water Bay to get to and from Destin. I talked to the Pepsi delivery man at 7:00 am and he said it was closed all but one lane each in the north lanes then and at 8:00 am they closed it all down both ways.

I just read the same thing in the local newspaper. "People should plan their commute around not using 98 tonight or tomorrow morning," Villani added. "We're looking for conditions to remain this way and even get worse as the next 24 hours go on." It said they will reasses the situation late Friday morning. Mid Bay is free during the *detour*.

This means we will be late getting to the Outcast sale! =)

I just went to lunch and overheard someone say that they may close mid-bay bridge if the winds pick up more but I'm guessing that's just a rumor! I sure hope so cause I work in fort walton and live in Destin!
