Just a little wind and some rain here, the AM high tide helped us out big time keeping the surge down.

Beloved South Mobile County Fishing Spot Heavily Damaged by Nate | WKRG
Beloved South Mobile County Fishing Spot Heavily Damaged By Nate
By Chad PetriPublished: October 8, 2017, 12:23 pm
Where will 'Blue Pants Bob' fish now?Coden, AL (WKRG) — One of the temporary casualties of Hurricane Nate is a beloved fishing spot in south Mobile County.
Dauphin Island Mayor Jeff Collier confirms the Cedar Point Pier was heavily damaged by Hurricane Nate. Collier said most of the decking was knocked off and the pier may need a major rebuild.
Cedar Point Pier is located just north of the Dauphin Island Bridge. It has been around for decades and is one of the busiest fishing spots in Mobile County.
This damage report is on the heels of more damage being reported on Dauphin Island.
Officials say three miles of the west end of Bienville Boulevard is covered with sand six feet deep.pierboy01 and chillinfish like this.

From the damage I saw, its water pipes broken and electric ripped loose in addition the the rails and blowout sections gone, there's no way they will get it open by Shrimp Fest. My guess is they'll be lucky to get it repair d in a month!

IIRC they've opened half before, out to the bathrooms.

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.

I look forward to seeing what Nate did to the local sandbars, particularly around the GSP, Dauphin Island and Ft. Morgan Point.
