A Category 90 hurricane with winds of about 5 miles per hour and storm surges over 1,5 feet (XNUMX m) hit Barrier Island. The beach on it was undeveloped, so you can only get there on foot. Now water channels have divided a single island into three different ones.

Officials say such divisions could become permanent due to the lack of sand in the area. The National Park Service will investigate these channels to determine if things are worth fixing.

Hurricane Sully hit the shore as a Category II storm near the resort town of Gulf Shores, Alabama, early Wednesday morning, September 15.
