Dauphin Island marina hit hard by storm with boat damage and debris (photos)
DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala. (WKRG) — A strong storm roared through Dauphin Island before dawn Saturday morning. It left flooding and several damaged sites in its wake.
The most concentrated damage could be seen at the Dauphin Island Marina. At Capt'n Snapper's Marina Bar & Grill, the storm blasted through the rear wall of the bar and caved in the ceiling of the kitchen.
LOCATION:
Debris and insulation littered what was the hub of their meal preparation. The owner says they'll likely be closed until they can get the damage and insurance issues sorted out.
A short distance away, boat owners say the storm pulled two boats from their metal elevated slips into the water.
As of Saturday morning, one boat was still missing. A 2nd boat was tossed into the water and drifted into another slip on the other side of the marina. Its engine was heavily damaged.
Elsewhere on Dauphin Island, the storm knocked over a tree, and it landed on top of a boat and a front porch.
Another, larger tree fell in another yard, completely missing a nearby home.
At the campground, the storm tossed tents and tables outside at least one RV.
The severe weather also snapped a communications tower in two places at the Dauphin Island Public Works building.
As far as we know, no one was hurt in the storms overnight.

Here's how you can check the air quality where you live
(KDVR) — Wildfires in Canada have caused poor air quality and smoky skies across several U.S. metros for days. On Wednesday, the air quality in New York City was ranked the worst in the world. 'I can taste the air': Canadian wildfire smoke spreads hazardous haze at home and in the US That's according to IQAir's Air Quality and Pollution City Ranking, which is updated hourly, the air pollution advocacy organization explains. It's important to note that while New York City is currently in the top spot for unhealthy air, it will likely drop back down once the aforementioned smoke disappears. A few weeks ago, Denver, Colorado, was ranked among the top 10 worst in the world due to wildfire smoke. As of Wednesday, the city ranked 96th on IQAir's list. IQAir's live Air Quality and Pollution City Ranking ranks cities based on AQI, or Air Quality Index points. Cities/areas are assigned a series of ranges for how healthy or unhealthy the air currently is. To find your city/area, you'll need to allow IQAir to access your location. Once the system locates you, it'll give you your area's AQI, in addition to which main pollutant is contributing to the pollution level. Ranges include: Good, Moderate, Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups, Unhealthy, Very Unhealthy, and Hazardous. New York City's air on Wednesday is the only city on the entire list given a Hazardous air rating. Canada fires bring dystopian haze, air-quality alerts in US. Is it safe to go outside? Aside from New York City, the next highest U.S. city on the air quality ranking is Detroit, Michigan (23), which claimed 'moderate' air quality levels Wednesday evening. India dominated the top 5, with the cities of Delhi and Kolkata ranking third and fourth, respectively, and claiming Unhealthy air ratings. The second highest city on the list is Dubai, UAE, whose air was ranked unhealthy. Will the level of smoke be dangerous for your health? Here's what the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said people everywhere should know. 'If smoke is thick or becomes thick in your neighborhood, you may want to remain indoors. This is especially true for those with heart disease, respiratory illnesses, the very young, and the elderly. Consider limiting outdoor activity when moderate to heavy smoke is present. Consider relocating temporarily if smoke is present indoors and is making you ill,' CDPHE said. 'Bob's Burgers' actor faces charges in Jan. 6 riot If visibility is less than 5 miles in your neighborhood, the smoke has reached levels that are unhealthy, and you should stay indoors. You can visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for more information on wildfire smoke hazards. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

At least 2 people killed as storms push through South
Two people were killed by falling trees and tens of thousands were left without power as severe storms rolled through the South over the weekend. The storms downed trees and powerlines and brought heavy rainfall, hail and gusty winds as they pushed through the region. Nearly 150,000 people across southern states from Texas to South Carolina were without power Sunday morning, according to Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said one person was killed in Lafayette County when a tree fell on a vehicle. Multiple tornado warnings were issued across northern Mississippi on Saturday. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said one person was killed in Georgia on Saturday night. A spokesperson for the Georgia Emergency Management said the fatality occurred in Banks County when a tree fell on a vehicle. 'Join us in praying for the loved ones of a Georgian tragically lost tonight due to the severe storms,' Kemp wrote on social media. The National Weather Service said a confirmed EF-1 tornado damaged multiple homes and injured one person Friday in the city of Van Buren in western Arkansas. Another round of severe weather is expected to push through the southern Plains and the South on Sunday evening and Monday. The highest risk for severe weather is in southwest Oklahoma and northern Texas. The National Weather Service said destructive wind gusts of up to 100 miles per hour, giant hail up to five inches in diameter and a few tornadoes are likely.
