Residents along Alabama's coast are hoping to avoid the worst from Isaac when it makes landfall, but they're also taking precautions against the storm.
Shelters are open in Mobile County, which will take at least an indirect hit. Dozens of shrimp boats are tied up at docks in Bayou La Batre waiting on the storm to pass, and few people are left on Dauphin Island.
Tourists are gone from the state's most popular beaches in Baldwin County, and floodwaters could make some areas inaccessible as the storm surge from Isaac sends water rising across roads.
Low-lying areas closest to the Gulf remain under a mandatory evacuation order. But Gov. Robert Bentley allowed some residents to remain who earlier had been ordered to leave after the storm forecast changed.
