Thanks to John Hicks for these images… he writes:

“After much procrastination, the outer edge of Tropical Depression Five finally arrived in Ft. Walton Beach about 3:45 this afternoon, along with big waves, and wind strong enough to blow sand in faces. I’d estimate about 25 MPH. It pretty much ran everyone off the beach. I’ve attached a couple of shots, plus one of actual surfing, and it wouldn’t be a complete picture set without an Acid Reign sandcastle from earlier in the week! I hope you can use ’em.”
