BEACH AT DESTIN & HARBOR WALK



Pretty colors again

White sand, aqua water, pretty sky,

gulls, and not many people

Nice boats at the harbor

Flock of pelicans

For lunch, we went to Another Broken Egg, which has over 200 different kind of egg dishes on the menu. Linda had a quiche, but I just had eggs, bacon, and a huge pancake. Nice restaurant, very quiet, pleasant décor. As we left the restaurant, it was starting to rain, so we rode 10 miles to Ft. Walton Beach to a covered mall. It poured rain on the way to the mall, and it was nice to be able to be inside at a mall. We walked around, shopped some, and then went to an outlying Starbucks for coffee and a scone. Home for a lite supper.


FL WEATHER: High 72, low 44. Warm, but very windy and cloudy in the morning. Rain by noon, done by 5:00, but tornadoes in the area.

FL NEWS: Storms pummel Gulf Coast with wind, lightning, tornadoes
A line of severe weather tore through Northwest Florida Wednesday. Lightning, high winds and heavy rain left a spattering of damage across the area. Lawmen reported one tornado touched ground east of Milton.
Two children were indirectly struck by lightening. A teenager was struck while grabbing a doorknob at the Learning Academy in Milton Wednesday morning. A second-grader at Northwood Elementary in Crestview was struck when a surge traveled through an electrical outlet that the student was sitting next to. Both children were transferred to local hospitals in stable condition. In Baker, on Keyser Mill Road, a mobile home was burned down after it was apparently struck by lightening, according to an employee with the North Okaloosa Fire District. The mobile home was a complete loss. In Navarre, lightening struck the roof of another mobile home on Molina Street. Wood beams underneath the home caught fire, according to Lt. Tim Cole of the Holley-Navarre Fire Department. The fire caused $5,000 to $6,000 worth of damage. High winds whipped through the area, knocking down trees and power lines. Power outrages were reported through the afternoon.
