Hurricane Frederic anniversary | Fox10tv.com: "So far this year we have been very fortunate with tropical weather but that wasn't the case thirty years ago when Hurricane Frederic roared into Mobile Bay. With wind gusts nearing 150 mph, a massive storm surge and power outages that lasted weeks, Frederic is a storm that is still remembered vividly three decades later.
WALA broadcast straight through Frederic. The images recorded that night show a storm with awesome power. Sustained winds were 130 mph. The next day the images are of the terrible damage Frederic did."
