Residents along the Gulf Coast were under hurricane and tropical storm warnings Monday as a "rapidly" strengthening Hurricane Sally zeroed in on the region.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami said midday Monday that hurricane hunters have found Sally has "rapidly strengthened" to hurricane status.
As of 11 p.m. ET Monday, Sally was located about 130 miles southeast of Biloxi, Miss., moving at 3 mph in a west-northwest direction, the NHC in Miami reported. It was still too soon at that time to project where the storm would make landfall as the storm made a slightly eastern turn.
The current forecast by the NHC shows the storm will be a Category 2 hurricane by the time it makes landfall early Tuesday. Regardless of how strong it gets the impact will be the same, with the biggest risk being the water. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
