See it: Pouring rain blown by intense wind during Hurricane Debby drops visibitity in Horseshoe Beach, FL

Intense storms were building in Horseshoe Beach, Florida, on Monday morning as Hurricane Debby neared landfall.

STEINHATCHEE, Fla. – Florida's Nature Coast is experiencing the impact of Hurricane Debby, which made landfall along the Big Bend early Monday morning.

This marks the second hurricane of the season in the Atlantic Basin to reach the U.S. The landfall location is only 15 miles away from where Hurricane Idalia made landfall in Keaton Beach one year ago.

HURRICANE DEBBY MAKES LANDFALL IN FLORIDA AS POWER OUTAGES SKYROCKET TO OVER 300,000

Debby is bringing a life-threatening storm surge, strong winds and record-breaking rainfall to the Sunshine State, causing widespread concerns.

The latest forecast from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) indicates that Debby is expected to move slowly across the Southeast this week, resulting in extreme amounts of rain.

The NHC is also forecasting potentially historic rainfall across southeastern Georgia and South Carolina until Friday, leading to widespread catastrophic flash flooding and life-threatening conditions.

FOX Weather Storm Specialist Mike Seidel was strategically positioned in Steinhatchee, Florida, to document the Category 1 storm's landfall about 7 a.m. ET.

EXCLUSIVE ANALYSIS: GET LATEST FROM BRYAN NORCROSS

FOX Weather Correspondent Robert Ray was in Perry, Florida, at the time of landfall when Debby's eyewall moved through Taylor County, where residents were still recovering after Idalia devastated parts of the county.

LIVE TRACKER: DEBBY MAPS, FORECAST CONE, ALERTS

A hotel visitor in Perry was seen keeping an entry door from swinging open as Debby made landfall with winds estimated at 80 mph. After landfall, power outages skyrocketed to more than 300,000 utility customers in the Sunshine State, according to PowerOutage.us.

Hurricane Debby closed in on Florida’s Big Bend region as a Category 1 storm, and early video from Cedar Key shows why storm surge is one of the biggest threats from this tropical cyclone.

As the center of the storm passed Cedar Key, the winds became more onshore as the surge rocked the island city off the northwestern coast of Florida, in the Gulf of Mexico.

This is only the beginning of Debby's impact, and the worst is yet to come, the FOX Forecast Center said. The storm is expected to slow to a crawl near the Southeast coast this week.

Catastrophic flooding will be possible across the coastal plain of southeastern Georgia and South Carolina by midweek in response to historic rainfall topping 20 inches, with local amounts up to 30 inches.

Roberts Bay cleanup strategy includes Vertical Oyster Gardens under docks and strategic seeding of clams to help filter water

VENICE – Shaun Graser fondly remembers fishing in Roberts Bay behind his parents' Laguna Drive home.

“When we were young, we would catch flounder all the time,” Graser said one recent morning, as divers from Reef Innovations worked on placing four reef balls underneath the dock of his mother Pat’s house. “Now we rarely see anything at all, though I have been seeing baby fish.

"Growing up here I remember when all of this was oyster bars that we would maneuver around when we were skiing and so the ecosystem has changed and we need to enhance it,” the son of the late former Venice mayor Merle Graser later added. “When we’d go water skiing out here and it was low tide, you’d put your feet underneath here and feel the fish – it was fun.”

The four 600-pound reef balls – designed as a starter or an artificial reef – were among the 19 such structures Reef Innovations owner Larry Beggs and divers Robert Kernan and Daniel DeLaTorre were scheduled to place at homes along Roberts Bay, as part of the Roberts Bay Revitalization Project.

What is the Roberts Bay Revitalization Project?

More than a year in the making, the project is a product of a partnership between the Southern District of Sarasota Bay Watch and the Venice Yacht Club Environmental Committee.

In March, 2023, the Venice City Council agreed to help start the project with a $5,000 grant – something that the Yacht Club matched, while seeking other philanthropic partners.

In addition to the reef balls, the Revitalization Project is also working with Oyster Boys Conservation to string “Vertical Oyster Gardens,” below the docks with the reef balls.

Oysters can filter 50 gallons of water per day, Short noted.

“We’re cleaning up Roberts Bay one drop of water at a time – and the fish,” Short said.

Later this fall or early spring, the Roberts Bay restoration will include a seeding of Florida natural clams, though first the best locations must be determined, she added.

A proactive response to red tide

Former mayor John Holic linked the initiative to a persistent red tide that lingered along the Gulf Coast of Florida for 18 months, between 2017 and 2018.

“When I was on council in 2017, we had the very severe, serious red tide and we had nothing proactive to work against it,” Holic said. “When I got into the Yacht Club and met Melinda and she was very interested in the environment, and we found out these things will eat the red tide organism.

“Along with everything else, it will clean the water but will also eat the red tide."

Short noted that the hollow reef balls also become nurseries for smaller fish.

In January, 2023 the plan had been to use a different type of under-dock artificial reef that used a plastic structure to mimic mangroves, but the Florida Department of Environmental Protection favors the reef balls.

The state permit costs were negotiated down from $350 per site to $350 for all 21 sites.

Reagan Dehn, a New College of Florida junior working toward a degree in marine biology and a Sarasota Bay Watch board member, will be monitoring the progress of the under-dock reefs.

What is a reef ball made of?

Hollowed half-globes of marine grade concrete, primarily composed of the same type of limestone formed by coral reef skeletons make up the balls.

The pH balance is 8.5 – roughly the same as seawater.

“The rough texture like this, the concrete actually has oyster shells and coral and seashells in it – it’s the Florida limerock,” Beggs said.

The concept is more than three decades old, with reef balls used for erosion control as well as offshore reef building, as well as reef memorials as a form of burial at sea.

Beggs and Reef Innovations – one of the primary contractors for the Reef Ball Foundation – has the artificial structures out in 87 countries.

What is Sarasota Bay Watch?

A grassroots, non-profit, citizen-based organization with a mission of preserving and restoring Sarasota Bay, through education and hands-on community involvement, Sarasota Bay Watch started its water quality efforts more than 15 years ago by seeding scallops into Sarasota Bay.

In 2018, it switched to clams, which are more efficient, and in 2022, received state approval for an underwater aquaculture lease for clam restoration and research.

If you’re visiting Venice Beach in Florida, you might be wondering if you can bring your dog along for the ride. While there are a few dog-friendly beaches in Venice, the main area of Venice Beach isn’t one of them. Well, they can be at certain times, but not always. We’ll tell you more about why Venice Beach has restrictions on dogs, when they are allowed, and a few beaches in Venice that are dog-friendly.

Are Dogs Allowed on Venice Beach in Florida?

Dogs aren’t allowed on the main part of the beach. There are also quite a few restrictions if you wish to take your dog down the Venice Beach Boardwalk.

The main area of Venice Beach is not dog-friendly, and the rules and regulations clearly state that dogs are not allowed on the beach. That is different from most beaches in Florida and all across America, which have certain areas and hours that dogs can be on the beach.

You can take your dog to the boardwalk, but the dog must be on a leash at all times, and they’re only allowed on the boardwalk at certain times of the season and certain times of the day. There is truly no way around this ban on dogs on the beach, so it’s best not to risk a fine or permanent ban. However, service dogs are allowed on the boardwalk at any time.

Are There Any Dog-Friendly Beaches or Areas in Venice?

There are only a few dog-friendly beaches and areas in Venice:

Before visiting these dog-friendly areas, remember to pack water, food, poop bags, towels, and a leash. When you’re ready to leave, remember to pick up after your pet and dispose of the poop bags in the proper receptacle.

Conclusion

Sadly, if you’re heading out to the main part of Venice Beach to enjoy the sun and the surf, you’ll have to leave your canine companion at home or at the hotel you’re staying in while you’re visiting. The reason for the ban on Venice Beach is that the city doesn’t want unruly dogs or pet owners who refuse to clean up after their canines. There are a couple of areas where your dog is welcome in Venice, so you can enjoy your time there with your canine pal instead.
