LOUISIANA, USA — Hurricane Sally is expected to bring heavy rain, flash flooding, and an “extremely dangerous” storm surge across portions of the Central Gulf Coast from Monday through the middle of the week.
The National Hurricane Center says Sally is expected to strengthen to a Category 2 hurricane before making landfall. Hurricane conditions are expected by early Tuesday from Grand Isle, Louisiana to Ocean Springs, Mississippi, including the metropolitan New Orleans area.
Preparations should be rushed to completion in those areas ahead of landfall.
