Tropical Hurricane Sally

With the eye being 41 miles wide does it matter where landfall is? If it hits Al/Fl on the right side it could easily hit landfall on the left side towards Mobile.
 
Yes, and landfall does not technically count until the eye is halfway on land. at the current rate, they have 4 or more hours more of that eye wall. This is the main problem.
YES. THE AMOUNT OF FLOODING WILL BE HISTORIC DUE TO SLOW MOVEMENT
 
...SALLY CONTINUING TO STRENGTHEN, A SPECIAL ADVISORY IS COMING OUT
SHORTLY...

Recent data from An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft and
the Mobile Alabama Doppler weather radar indicate that Sally's
maximum sustained winds have increased to 105 mph (165 km/h).

Further strengthening is possible, and a Special Advisory will be
issued within 15 minutes in lieu of the intermediate advisory to
update the intensity forecast.
 
Flash flood emergency for southeastern Baldwin county in Alabama and south central Escambia county Florida. Rain quickly becoming a problem there.

...FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY FOR THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION AS INTENSE

RAINFALL RATES FROM SALLY'S EXCESSIVE HEAVY RAINBANDS CONTINUE TO
MOVE ASHORE. SOME LOCATIONS HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED UP TO TWENTY
INCHES OF RAIN SINCE THE EVENT BEGAN. THIS COULD EASILY BE DOUBLED
GIVEN THE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT HAS FALLEN AND GIVEN SALLY'S

VERY SLOW MOTION TO THE NORTH THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...5D98D3E1-9A58-4787-9975-87A8358503FC.png
