Hurricane Sally: slow-moving storm hits Gulf coast with even worse conditions expected
16/09/2020 15:45 // The Guardian newspaper: International | guardian.co.uk
Torrential rain battering Alabama and Florida is forecast to continue for up to 12 more hours, with wind gusts over 80mph
Hurricane Sally made landfall on the US Gulf coast early Wednesday morning, with pounding rain and winds whipping above 100mph but with the huge category 2 storm system grinding along at just 2 mph – a turtle’s walking pace – increasing the danger of flooding.
The slow-motion storm exhausted residents in Alabama who listened through the night to tornado-warning sirens, phone alerts and howling winds, many frightened, sheltering but also sweltering indoors after power failures, as the storm approached.
Historic, life-threatening flash flooding likely through Wednesday along and just inland of the coast from the western FL Panhandle to far southeastern MS. Widespread moderate to major river flooding will then spread northeastward through the week. https://t.co/VyWINDk3xP pic.twitter.com/nXqcNwMuf9
