Post-Storm BEACH REPORT - FLOODING on Lido & Longboat keys AUG 6 2024 after Debby

Tropical Storm Debby Became a category 1 hurricane WHILE she was impacting the Central Gulf Coast of Florida. Record setting rainfalls and dangerous flooding occurred as well as additional beach damage in some areas. TODAY was not ideal shelling conditions, because the gulf was churned up - so let's take a look at what happened to 2 of my favorite haunts - Lido Key and Longboat Key
THIS IS JUST A BEACH REPORT - there will be a longer shelling adventure video released as well as soon as I get these Beach Reports caught up and out so you can plan YOUR shelling adventures!
