5. Sally has slowed to a Cat. 1, stalled at the coast line.

Storm surge and high tide now.
Lots of beach cams were still up, and the usual looky loos taking vids.

So not good. Gonna be interesting to see how much of Dauphin Island is left. as of early this am, there was video of a few cars and pickups hubcap deep in the wet sand. The storm will shove them to shore, most likely.

7. Yep - this is some serious water heading your way

Stay safe dixiegrrrrl
