The deep sea trawler, Sea Commander IV, left crashed upon the docks by the waves and storm surge at Bayou La Batre, Alabama after hurricane Katrina. Although Hurricane Katrina made landfall well to the west, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle were both affected by tropical-storm force winds and a storm surge varying from 12 to 16 feet (– m) around Mobile Bay, with higher waves on top. Sustained winds of 67 mph (108 km/h) were recorded in Mobile, Alabama, and the storm surge there was approximately 12 feet ( m). The surge caused significant flooding several miles inland along Mobile Bay.
