I found this drone footage of the pier. It was shot this morning. Not sure how to make the video show up here directly.

Four Seasons Condo Orange Beach
Can anyone tell me if the Four Seasons condo was damaged and if the pier made it through? Looks like the state park pier is a disaster

I've been watching the news and checking back in with all my old friends up in coastal Alabama. I have to tell you I am stunned by what I'm seeing! This is like Ivan all over again.
I cant believe the pier came down. Like noted above, the structure was built like no other pier on the Gulf. It must have been a massive wave to take out that section.
So sorry to see this happen.
I sure hope all of y'all are OK up there.Carl

I’ve been through most of the Kubler-Ross stages, denial, bargaining, anger, but I’m not to peace yet. Originally Posted by Haywire

If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

We got power this afternoon on the southwest side of Foley, but I don't think many have. Originally Posted by TalkingRock

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
