The Baldwin County School system is reporting ALL schools are opening this morning. BCBE Director of Communications Terry Wilhite says bus delays are "likely in many areas, especially in the areas where major storm damage has occurred, Rosington, Elsanor and nearby areas."

Baldwin County Sheriff's Office spokesman major Anthony Lowery says Highway 90 at Joe Foley Road is closed and will be for sometime. Wilhite says Baldwin County buses are being held in the Seminole area because of the road closing at Highway 90 and 87. Lowery says there have been some injuries reported and a sigificant amount of storm damage in Elsanore, Rosinton and Loxley.
