Got lucky. About $300 worth of soffit and fascia trim was all the damage. There were about a dozen or more places out here totally destroyed or went into the ocean. Then, there were a bunch more with major (more than $100,000) water and wind damage. I went to Carabelle yesterday. I like that place, and St. James Bay Golf Club is nearby.

I went out to the beach, and there were people spaced out about every 20 -25 yards or so. I found 2 about 40 yards apart, and laid down between them. The only very slight negative was a Border Collie that a woman had barked at me when I walked past. She had the dog in the shade under a tent, at least.

Yes, but there's a very high possibility that you will run into @Orangeslice13 down there. There are always drawbacks.

PIERS MORGAN: Shame on AOC for comparing Trump to Hitler and the Nazis - it's a disgusting slur against the President AND repulsively insensitive to every Jew who endured the horrors of the real Holocaust
What do you think when you hear the words ‘concentration camps’?
I’d say 99.999% of people, like me, would assume something to do with the Nazi Holocaust during World War 2.
Why would we all think that?
Well, try putting ‘concentration camps’ into Google search and see what comes up on the results page. When I did that today in preparation for writing this column, every single entry that appeared on my screen alluded to the Nazis.
So when freshman Democrat congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used that term to describe what President Trump is doing with illegal immigrants pouring over the Southern border, she knew exactly what she was doing.
The firebrand young ‘progressive’ politician wanted the world to know she thinks Trump is the new Hitler.
That’s why she posted an Instagram live-stream video to her millions of followers yesterday stating the US government is ‘running concentration camps on our southern border.’
To emphasize the link to Hitler, she said she wants to talk to people “who are concerned enough with humanity to say that ‘never again’ means something.”
Ocasio-Cortez, or ‘AOC’ as she likes to call herself, added: ‘The fact that concentration camps are now an institutionalized practice in the Home of the Free is extraordinarily disturbing and we need to do something about it.’
The New York representative claimed Democrats are ‘losing to an authoritarian and fascist presidency’ and clarified: ‘I don’t use those words lightly. I don’t use those words just to throw bombs. I use that word because that is what an administration that creates concentration camps is. A presidency that creates concentration camps is fascist and it’s very difficult to say that.’
And lest anyone didn’t get the message loud and clear, she declared: ‘Asking to be a refugee and applying for status isn’t a crime. It wasn’t for Jewish families fleeing Germany.’
Every part of this emotive tirade, and the language deployed in it, was specifically designed to draw an analogy between Trump and Hitler.
She knows it, and we know it. In fact, everyone with even a slither of knowledge of modern history knows it.
It is outrageous to even mention him in the same breath as one of the worst genocidal monsters of all time.
As anger mounted over Ocasio-Cortez’s outburst, she doubled down by tweeting a link to an Esquire article quoting a University of Virginia lecturer saying ‘things can be concentration camps without being Dachau or Auschwitz.’
AOC's comparison likens the holding centers to concentration camps like Auschwitz, seen above in 1941 during the Second World War
The Trump administration has held thousand of migrants and their families at detention centers such as this tent encampment built near the Tornillo Port of Entry in Texas
Ocasio-Cortez didn’t intend us to think of her comments in a more general manner, she intended us to think of the Nazis and the systematic slaughter of six million Jews.
She wants us to view Trump as the new Hitler.
Her deeply inflammatory and grotesquely unhelpful rhetoric comes at a time when America faces, by almost unanimous consent across the fractious political divide, a very real and genuine crisis on the southern border.
For the second consecutive month, over 100,000 migrants crossed the border seeking a new life in America.
In May alone, the figure was 144,000 – the highest monthly total in 13 years. One group held at the border comprised 1,036 people, the largest ever apprehended.
These are staggering numbers of people and the system is creaking at the seams under the intense pressure.
As part of her evidence for Trump’s alleged fascism, she said ‘immigrant children were moved to the same internment camps where the Japanese were held in the early 20th century.’ Yet Trump’s predecessor, President Obama, placed illegal immigrants and children into the exact same military base during HIS presidency.
Where was the Democrat outrage then?
Either Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is ignorant of the horrors of the Holocaust or she knows them perfectly well but is choosing to deliberately twist them to suit her agenda against President Trump.
The first charge makes her a woeful idiot.
The second makes her a duplicitous, cynical disgrace.
