Do y'all know where in Baldwin County? It looks like perhaps Fort Morgan peninsula.

Not quite, the center has not crossed any land area yet.

Well, ok. Technically, you are correct. But the eyewall has reached the coastline.

It looks like the Fort Morgan peninsula, about midway out, where Pilottown once stood before it was demolished by a hurricane about a century ago.

It depends what radar you go by...TWC "Skytracker" puts the north part of the eye slightly inland.

Technically the landfall is the center of the eye. That would be Palmetto Bay just west of Gulf Shores. Orange Beach took the NE eyewall bands...

Goodnight...
