As Hurricane Sally crawls ashore, the storm brings heavy rain and strong winds to the Gulf Coast.
The National Hurricane Center has Sally about 15 miles north-northeast of Gulf Shores Alabama and about 25 miles west-southwest of Pensacola Florida. The storm is hammering the coast with 100 mph winds and creeping its way inland at only 3 mph.
A Hurricane Warning is in effect for the Mississippi/Alabama state line and a Storm Surge Warning is in effect Dauphin Island Alabama.
Heavy rain shred its way across the coastal island, sinking a few boats left docked in the marina and toppling trees onto roadways and homes.
This makes me nauseous, Dauphin Island is getting hit so hard rn.. pic.twitter.com/8jOp241AZK
