How Much Did Debby Cost Gulfport?
From cracks in the Scout Hall sign to wood planks torn off the handicap dock at Gulfport Beach, high winds, rough waves and torrential downpours damaged Gulfport,.
How much will Debby cost Gulfport? The question was brought up during the City Council workshop Thursday.
City Manager Jim O'Reilly said he doesn't have the answer just yet. Crews are still cleaning up after the tropical storm, and minor damage reports continue to roll in.
O'Reilly says that there are no major damage reports and no major structural damage to city property. However, downed trees, tattered flags and broken signs will add up.
