Rivers swollen by Hurricane Sally's rains threatened more misery for parts of the Florida Panhandle and south Alabama on Thursday, as the storm's remnants continued to dump heavy rains inland that spread the threat of flooding to Georgia and the Carolinas.
Alabama Emergency Management Agency Director Brian Hastings said Thursday morning that inland flooding remains a concern.
He says flooding continues to be a problem in the state's southern counties and they expect many rivers to be in moderate or major flood state at noon and continuing through the weekend.
A drone video taken on Thursday by Meteorologist Spinks Megginson with Redzone Weather showed widespread flooding in downtown areas of Brewton caused by Murder Creek.
The video shows the local supermarket, Piggly Wiggly, and McDonald's flooded.
Sally blew ashore near Gulf Shores, Alabama, with 105 mph (165 kph) winds, unloading more than 2 feet (61 centimeters) of rain near Naval Air Station Pensacola before weakening into a tropical storm and then a depression.
The hurricane also drove two large ferry boats into a concrete seawall and left them grounded. The boats had been purchased with BP oil spill money.
