What were the helicopters looking for today in and around Gulf Shores?
Saw two different ones @ 1:00 today circling the area, was there an accident or missing person?

From what I hear about the action being so slow, maybe they were looking for a fish.....anyway, hope nothing bad happened.

Yeah, that chopper has "TOURS" written on the side.
If it were a S&R it would most likely be a USCG helo out of Mobile.
