Because most of the associated convective activity was east of the center of circulation, minimal damage was reported in Louisiana and Mississippi.[35] To the east on Dauphin Island, Alabama, the storm caused coastal flooding which closed roads and forced the evacuation of residents. Florida received high wind gusts, heavy rainfall, and strong surf that resulted in the deaths of three swimmers.[36] Throughout the state, 20,000 homes lost electricity.[37] The heavy rainfall progressed into Georgia, where significant flooding occurred. Crop damage was extensive, and over 300 structures were damaged by the flooding.
