Last night’s strong winds beached at least 6 boats in Gulfport. They’ll have to be towed but the city is waiting until the storm passes entirely (@angie_angers on Twitter)

Here’s a few shots of the damage left behind in Gulfport from #Eta. A resident told me these boats were lifting so far out of the water before they hit the seawall that he could see the bottoms (@angie_angers on Twitter)
