Conditions this morning were improving at Gulf Shores though the wind remained rather blustery with 20 to 30 mph and some higher gusts. It almost seemed to me that Dennis just didn't want to let go of his ifluence on the Alabama coast.
A double sun dog was visible just after sunrise from Gulf Shores looking east. The one to the north was very bright for sun dogs. Sun dogs are small spots of color similar to a rainbow as the sun light travels through high ice crystal clouds (cirrus).
I spoke with a representative of the tourism group at Gulf Shores, and the area will be open to residents with a proper pass today. They expect to open the island to everyone tomorrow morning for anyone with plans to come down here or with reservations.
Special thanks to all of the staff at the Hampton Inn in Foley for their wonderful hospitality to the ABC 3340 team covering Dennis. They just couldn't do enough for us, and we really appreciated having a base of operations.
