A 43 year old woman became the third person to drown on the Baldwin gulf coast in 12 days. The woman was on vacation with her family when the drowning occurred. She was pulled from the surf in front of the Beach Club on the Fort Morgan peninsula by two men but was pronounced dead on arrival to the University of South Alabama Medical Center.
As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.
