On Monday, Hurricane Sally became stronger into a Category 2, increasing chances of landfall in Southeastern Louisiana, which is still recovering from the Hurricane Laura’s aftermath.

The Sally’s center was likely to come closer to the southeastern Louisiana coast and face landfall on Tuesday on the Gulf Coast. By Tuesday, the hurricane is expected to intensify further into Category 3, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The Storm seemed to move east early Monday, placing Alabama’s and Mississippi’s entire coasts under a threat of a hurricane.

The residents of Mississippi and Alabama should buy a FosPower Emergency Solar Hand Radio to get updated with daily weather situations.

Hurricane warnings now expanded from Morgan City, eastward into Florida, Louisiana, at the Walton/ Okaloosa County line. Weather forecasters already warned flash flooding and storm surge.

“Sally could approach major hurricane strength, “the NHC said, adding that the wind speeds have surged by at least 40 mph in just a 12-hour period. This process is called intensification.

“Since Sally is forecast to be moving very slowly around the time of landfall, a slower rate of weakening is indicated since a large portion of the circulation will remain over water for some time,” the National Weather Service said.

President Donald Trump has given approval for the emergency declarations for Mississippi and Louisiana. He instructed the Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) and the Department of Homeland security to help with all possible disaster relief attempts in the two states.

Mississippi officials are making efforts for the possibility of mandatory evacuations, said Governor Tate Reeves.

During a conference session, the governor stated that he is concerned for his state that would face the impact of Sally’s storm and rain surge, and he directed residents stay prepared for protracted power cuts. Shelters have been arranged for evacuees, he said
.

It took less than three weeks for another storm making its way to Louisiana after Hurricane Laura made landfall as a category 4, wreaking havoc and widespread devastation from flooding in southwest Louisiana and leaving six people dead.

Governor Kay Ivey released a state of emergency for Alabama. She asked to prepare for the possible evacuation, especially for the homeless and those located near the coast.

“Bad weather is nothing to take lightly,” she said in a statement. “You have my assurance that every resource will be available if we need it. Be safe, Alabama.”

It was as strong as a storm from more than 150 years ago, the strongest one ever recorded in the state. Laura also damaged power grids, and full recovery is expected to take weeks, if not months, according to officials.

There’s no electricity in over 80,000 homes in southwest Louisiana as of Monday morning.

Sally was characterized as one of five tropical cyclones in the Atlantic on Monday, a process that’s happened only once before, almost 50 years ago.
