We are heading to Orange beach Wednesday through sunday, does a system like this have any carryover affect on the area once passed through? I’m sure the water will be murky right?

Local OBAL resident since 01, what I'VE typically observed after tropical storms or hurricanes is the weather is usually very nice afterwards. I remember after Ivan it was absilutel beautiful with clear skies for at least a week. That was a a blessing for clean up efforts.


Most of this is captain obvious type stuff:

The surf and rip currents will be worse than normal. Heed the red flag warnings.

The water clarity will be murkey and it will be for a week or so; at least until the muddy fresh water runoff from the bays has had a chance dissipate.

Be careful when walking on beach as there can be a washed up debris hidden under the sand and a sliced foot is no fun.

Common sense stuff.
