Florida I10 Between Tallahassee & Defuniak Springs

[awheeler]

Greetings All,


We just drove the stretch of I10 in Florida from Tallahassee to Defuniak Springs. The roads are clear and passable, but trees and debris are down all along the shoulders of the road. Hurricane Michael's devastation is evident. Thousands of trees twisted into and/or pulled up at the roots. Road signs are down, Rest Areas are closed. Literally no place to pull off unless you exit. RV Parks and Campgrounds are full of folks who lost their homes or insurance folks working the hurricane. We have personally been through 5 major hurricanes, but I do not ever remember seeing so many trees down along the interstate.



Just a heads up in case anyone else is coming this way.

Thanks for the heads up, will be on that stretch of I10 on Saturday. There were many trees down on I95 in North and South Carolina.

Hi

I don’t know how they do it but last year when we came from the west going back home after the hurricane that hit Tallassee I-10 was clear of downed trees.

We had started back when the wind was blowing hard enough that the Highway Patrol was advising caution when crossing the larger bridges.

They must have been out in the storm clearing the road.
