Because of Hurricane Sally's sluggish speed, wind and rainfall are likely to batter and soak the northern Gulf Coast through Thursday, potentially triggering record-breaking freshwater flooding in some areas
Satellite image of Hurricane Sally on Tuesday afternoon. Photo: NASA/NOAA/GOES-16 Hurricane Sally is inching its way to the northern Gulf Coast, where the Category 1 storm is expected to bring as much as 30 inches of “devastating” rainfall to southeastern Mississippi, southern Alabama, and the western Florida Panhandle. A “life-threatening” storm surge of as much as seven feet is expected along the coastline.
The storm surge, meanwhile, could reach as high as seven feet above normally dry land, and coastal flooding could persist through multiple tide cycles.
