The past few days have had high wave action, with the waves running 4-6 feet. These high waves have brought tar patties and tar balls to the west end beaches, unfortunately, and also some minor flooding on the far west end.
The clean-up crews managed to clean up the area behind our affected properties today, and there is no more tar, but the waves continue to be higher than normal, which seem bring in more debris than usual.
The good news is that the NOAA chart shows the oil drifting further south and away from Dauphin Island in the next 72 hours. They also do not show any "shore contact" of the oil on Dauphin Island, thankfully. Here is the most recent NOAA map.
