On the 16th (local time), Hurricane 18 ‘Sally’ touched down in the southeastern part of the United States and the rain reached one meter, the Associated Press reported. The water pump spilled by the hurricane destroyed 500,000 homes and rescued hundreds of people.
According to foreign media, Hurricane Sally touched down near Alabama’s Gulf Shores around 4:45 am that day. This typhoon, accompanied by a strong 165 km / h wind, is raining heavily from Pensacola, Florida to Alabama. The National Weather Service (NWS) has announced that the sea level in Pensacola, Florida, has risen more than 150 cm. Also, the precipitation is expected to exceed 88 cm.
According to The New York Times, rain from the hurricane flooded some highways in Alabama and Florida and flooded cars. The boat moored in the port was thrown ashore and a transformer on the beach exploded. It is easy to see the footprints on the walls of the building being torn by the wind and water.
In Alabama, high-rise buildings can be seen swaying in the wind and building debris floating in the water. That afternoon alone, at least 377 people were rescued in Florida. Escambia County in Pensacola, Florida, where two rivers cross, announced a three-day curfew, saying the risk of flooding is high. All schools were also closed and the state government also sent 200 state defense forces.
Roughly 150,000 in Alabama and about 200,000 in Florida experienced power outages overnight. It is impossible to move due to the water that has spread to the road and the fallen trees. Currently, hurricanes are accompanied by winds of 128.7 km / h. The maximum wind speed near the center of Typhoon ‘Maemi’, which landed in Korea in 2003, was 216 km / h.
Sally is currently moving relatively slowly from Alabama to western Georgia at a speed of 7 miles per hour, and the damage is likely to increase. President Donald Trump has declared a state of emergency in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and parts of Louisiana.
