Hurricane Sally Brings Record Rainfall and Massive Flooding to Gulf Coast
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the Gulf Coast, at least one person was killed, and over a half a
million customers were left without power, as Hurricane Sally brought
torrential rains and severe flooding to coastal communities from the
Florida Panhandle to Mississippi. In Pensacola, a section of the Three
Mile Bridge was destroyed after a barge slammed into the structure,
cutting off access to the city of Gulf Breeze. Officials say parts of
Florida received four months' worth of rain in just four hours.
