People use flashlights as they walk on flooded streets in search of their vehicle on Wednesday in Pensacola, Florida. Hurricane Sally pushed a surge of ocean water onto the coast and is dumping torrential rain that forecasters say will cause dangerous flooding from the Florida Panhandle to Mississippi and well inland.(Photo/Agencies)
Hurricane Sally lumbered ashore near the Florida-Alabama line Wednesday with 105 mph winds and rain measured in feet, not inches, swamping homes and trapping people in high water as it crept inland for what could be a long, slow and disastrous drenching across the Deep South. Moving at an agonizing 3 mph, or about as fast as a person can walk, the storm made landfall at 4:45 a.m. close to Gulf Shores, Alabama, battering the metropolitan areas of Mobile, Alabama, and Pensacola, Florida, which have a combined population of almost 1 million.(Photo/Agencies)
