Fork Pickens Florida...Sept 18th. Other options?

My family has been planning this trip to Fort Pickens campground near Pensacola Florida for the last several months. We are/were scheduled to arrive down there September 18th. With all this talk of Hurricane Irma doing lots of damage and flooding in that area.....I'm wondering what some other options would be father west of there?

Any ideas would be great....preferable some place by the ocean.

    Not sure of the affect that this will have on this area but we have stayed there and they tell you to be prepared to move out quick because of the road to the park flooding as it is right at sea level.

    Obvious the path can change, but it appears the Florida panhandle, including Pensacola, will be spared from the hurricane. It is late enough now that the predicted path will probably be pretty accurate. But a call to the park early next week after it passes to check status would be a good idea.
