Dauphin Island, AL – Strong waves from Hurricane Gustav swept across the west end of Dauphin Island and left about two feet of sand on the main island road. Bulldozers are working to clear the road.
Some secondary roads on the island are damaged. Power had been knocked out on the island when a transmission line from the mainland was damaged, but Alabama Power spokesman Bernie Fogarty said services were restored shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday.
