Our son was married there in March and hopes to return on their anniversary. Is Okaloosa Island still there? How much damage to it and Fort Walton Beach?
We annually vacation for the winter on Okaloosa Island. We have been in touch with the owner of our condo and were told that yes, Okaloosa Island is still there; but it is completely flat, no more dunes. Almost all ground-floor condo’s were wiped out, but the higher up ones, even one floor up, had only minor damage in most cases. By March, things should be back to almost normal, although to look the way it did before Ivan, with trees and vegetation, will take years. Hope this helps!
