The eye of Hurricane Sally made landfall early Wednesday as a Category 2 storm near Gulf Shores, Alabama, the National Hurricane Center said.
PENSACOLA, Fla. – Hurricane Sally made landfall early Wednesday along Alabama's Gulf Coast as a drenching, Category 2 storm amid warnings of historic, life-threatening flooding.
Through this afternoon, Sally will produce additional rainfall totals of 8 to 12 inches with localized higher amounts possible along the central Gulf Coast from west of Tallahassee, Florida to Mobile Bay, Alabama, Stewart said. Rain totals of 10 to 20 inches are expected but could balloon too 35 inches in some areas.
“It’s going to be a huge rainmaker,” said Phil Klotzbach, a research scientist and meteorologist at Colorado State University. “It’s not going to be pretty.”
