Okay here are the photos of Tropical Storm Arlene that came through the Florida panhandle around June 10th. Looks like 4 weeks later they are going to get a much bigger storm with Hurricane Dennis.

Here is a comparison photo of the relative calm of the gulf earlier in the week compared to Saturday after TS Arelene had come through (next photo).

Look at the fences that line the upper part of the beach and the distance from the water, then check the next photo.

Compared to this....

Big waves as you look at TS Arlene to the right.

Here is a another photo of the beach fences that were totally wiped out by Arlene.

Looking down the the coast at where the beach used to be. Note that all remants of the beach fences are totally gone.

The bottom 10 feet of stairs to the beach are completely covered by the waves from TS Arlene.

Strong wind continually blows Sarah and Teresa with the huge waves in teh background.
