I know there are some real estate and development companies licking their chops over getting a hold on that prime land. The rural parts of Tyndall along the coast are some of the last virgin beach property available in Florida. I really hope this area, even as government property, does not turn into another condo haven. But, as a hypocrite, I wish I could get some of my old family land taken by the government in the late '30s when Ft. Rucker was built...but, that's another story. @ Niknak50…..I grew up around that area in the ’40s and ’50s.

With that said, How is it that CHOOSING to live on the beach is not considered "Known Hazard" and the people who choose to live out there are not treated the same. Those people can have their properties demolished by KNOWN Hurricane Activity during 5 months out of a year only to have their properties fixed / repaired / replaced over and over again if hit by a storm??? And another I would like answered is WHY their Insurance is PAID by Citizens who choose not to live on a Known Hazard (Beach) ??? If they can't get insurance that is their problem not the citizens. Those living on the beach knew going in that it is a hazard living on the Beach and should be told that the Insurance industry their properties will only be rebuilt/replaced ONE TIME by their own Insurance (Not from Citizens) just like they treat the "Little Man". Treat everyone Fair and Square is all that is being asked. There was a song I once sang when in children' church that the LORD builds his house on ROCK and not "SINKING SAND". QUIT building on the Beach ... It is too costly to repair/replace and AGAIN it is not up to the Citizens to pay for their Insurance for those on the beach. We all already have Insurance and no need to pay for theirs. It is WRONG !!!!!!!

The guys at Tyndall knew this and knew how to grill them too. I hope they will rebuild and stay small. Not every spot on the gulf needs a high rise haven on it.

It really is tragic. Going forward, Tyndall Afb in all probability will be written off and closed. A huge economic loss to the whole area.
