One body was found Saturday night and the second body was found Sunday morning, according to the Alabama Department of Public Safety. Neither has been identified.

The Coast Guard said in a news release it received a call about capsized boats Saturday afternoon and managed to rescue one person that night. Officials said the search would continue on Sunday.

Good Samaritans and local authorities have also assisted in the rescue efforts, retrieving many people from the water, the Coast Guard said.
