– The remnants of Hurricane Sally are dumping more than a foot of rain on Florida and Georgia, leaving one person dead and hundreds of thousands without power, Reuters reports. The storm killed one person in coastal Alabama and another is missing. Some areas were inundated with more than two feet of rain. Pensacola, Florida, east of the storm’s landfall, experienced up to 5 feet of flooding, and travel across the region was limited by damaged roads and bridges. Almost 500,000 homes and businesses in Alabama and Florida remained without power. “It has been a long two days,” says one resident of Gulf Shores, Alabama. “We were trying to evacuate on Tuesday, but it was too late.”
