Residents of Destin weigh evacuation choices after two close calls with Hurricane Elena. Quotes reflect mixed plans from locals Lee Parker and Emily Stephens, with some ready to leave for family safety and others staying due to social ties and show dogs.
Consumers are informed that Liberty Camouflage Overall and Camouflage Game Bag Shell Bell are not available this week and will not ship later. The issuer cannot issue rain checks and apologizes for the error and any inconvenience caused.
Karen MacGrogan recalls two hurricane evacuations in four days. She describes shelter hardships and the contrast of a spacious DeFuniak Springs house, the drive along route 98 to the 331 bridge, and the relief of returning home unscathed after siren alarms and storm forecasts.
A Sunday retreat from Destin to DeFuniak became a fearfully real evacuation when Elena returned toward Destin and the storm intensified to category four. The family endured power loss, rumbling wind, and roof damage reports as they watched the approach from Pop’s porch, glad to be safe yet unsettled by the near misses and warnings.
