But you still gotta love the beauty of the beach and everything that comes with it.”Tracy Schultheis and her family came all the way down from St. Louis.“We come every year down to the Gulf Coast but it’s the first time that we’ve stayed on Dauphin Island but we love it,” Schultheis said.
While some people on Dauphin Island may be used to battling the wind and water, Manzione says today wasn’t like most typical days. “I wouldn’t say this is exactly normal, it doesn’t usually blow like this down here,” Manzione said. “Maybe two or three days a month basically where it blows this hard. It’s a little windy down here but generally, winds are about 10 mph.
