Municipal Pier and Marina Damaged By Storms

Fairhope, Alabama 

 

Fairhope pier marina.


  

PIER CLOSED AFTER DARK

Hurricane Zeta's storm surge caused significant damage to the main pier and adjacent public marina.

Electric power and sewer service to the pier were knocked out and several boats in the marina sunk; new electrical service to the docks that had just been installed earlier this year was severely damaged.

A federal disaster has not yet been declared yet for Alabama: FEMA will not reimburse repair cost without one. (Apparently all damage was done by Zeta, none by Sally.)

The marina is usually managed by the adjacent restaurant business, per lease agreement with the city (the restaurant closed last spring).


New electrical service to docks damaged.

Probably, the emergency situation necessitated speed over perfection. The meaning remains clear.

How did YOU misspell "misspelled" in a post which was neither an emergency nor necessary?

Please stop befouling our public forum with petty grievances and scolding.

Fairhope is not perfect, but it is great. If we focus on what is important, we can be greater yet.
