Pensacola (Florida), October 17, 2020 – Theuregano Sally – now downgraded to storm – precipitated theAlabama and Florida in an apocalyptic scenario: flooded streets and houses and hundreds of thousands of people in the dark. The two US states were swept away by Torrential rains, which now runs the risk of causing “catastrophic” floods. It is feared that there has also been a death: a person is missing from the roll call in the city of Orange Beach in Alabama. But the blackout was very extensive: according to the site poweroutage.com, also in both states half a million homes were without power.
Hundreds of people were rescued and a section of the new one collapsed Bay bridge.

Sally, from hurricane to storm
Fortunately, Sally weakened after making landfall, though it continues to hit the shores: It landed as a Category 2 hurricane at 04:05 local time yesterday morning, in Gulf Shores, a small Alabama town, with maximum sustained winds of approximately 170 km per hour. It then downgraded to a tropical storm and practically stopped off the coast of Alabama and northwest Florida, and continued to discharge. very violent rains.
Flood alert
In Pensacola fell “in quattro hours the equivalent of four months of rain“Ginny Cranor, chief of the Pensacola fire department, told CNN. The city of Florida was one of the worst hit, a barge also damaged a bridge. And now the rains continue: according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), some areas can receive up to 88 cm of rain.
The winds brought in by Sally have actually calmed down, blowing at a maximum speed of 55 km per hour; but the depression moves slowly (about 15 km / h), which means that it will pour rain in the same areas for a long time and this will raise the water level. And the risk, warned the latest bulletin from the hurricane center, is that it will cause “catastrophic and historic flooding.”
