Bomb threat shuts Seascape resort prompts major evacuation
A phoned hoax forced Walton County authorities to close U.S. 98 from Miramar Beach to Seascape. A caller claimed three bombs would detonate at 2 p.m. Rescue teams, police, and Air Force bomb squads searched the executive center, golf course, and beach area but found no explosives. A second threat occurred later at the resort restaurant, leading to further evacuations until the all clear was given.
