What happened
Marinas in Carrabelle are feeling the effects of Storm Isaias. Pirate’s Cove Marina, owned by Marcus Williams, took in at least 20 large vessels from the Panhandle as they sought safer water. Williams noted that the primary concern is river surge caused by water draining from nearby inlets, rather than wind.
