For the folks on Dauphin Island, Tropical Storm Ida didn't pack the powerful punch they were expecting but they weren't expecting all the sand left behind either.

The storm did dump several inches of rain in some spots and left many in the dark.
But the real aftermath of the storm was clearly visible on the west end of the island.
Ida dumped sand on the main road leading to the area as well as side streets.
For some, the sand is going to be an expensive clean-up job.
"It's gonna cost somebody a lot of money to get this out. A lot of these people are gonna lose their beaches. So it's just terrible I hate it for everybody down here," said Dauphin Island resident John Hopkins.
Dauphin Island Police Chief George Goodwin is advising anyone who goes to the west end of the island, to drive a large SUV, four-wheeler, or 4X 4.... or you could risk getting stuck in the sand.
