From the reports I have seen Alabama was not hit anywhere near as hard as Mississippi.
This storm will probably take 10 years or more to recover even partially from, what with entire families wiped out, questions of who owns the properties now, insurance payouts beyond comprehension, survivors lives shattered, refugees with no homes, jobs or transportation. One of the busiest shipping port areas disabled. Refineries down. Yikes. I really can't comprehend it all, it hurts my head.
