The National Hurricane Center (NHC) predicts that "Sali" is still a dangerous "rainmaker" that will cause historic floods.
After Hurricane Sally made landfall on the Gulf Coast of Alabama with a second-level hurricane wind, it has weakened to a first-level hurricane.
As of 10 am local time, "Sali" was 15 miles west-northwest of Pensacola, Florida, moving northeast at a speed of 5 miles per hour.
According to foreign media reports, torrential rains and strong winds brought by "Sali" are hitting the Mobile area of Alabama and the Pensacola area of Florida.
Local trees and electrical wires were broken, houses were damaged, and many streets had flooded with about 2 feet.
The flood washed away many cars and some bridges along the coast were destroyed.
