Hurricane Sally is expected to slam into the US Gulf Coast early Wednesday with drenching rains that could provoke "historic" and potentially deadly flash floods, forecasters warned. "Sally is expected to be a dangerous hurricane when it moves onshore," forecasters warned. Alabama governor Kay Ivey warned state residents that even though the storm had weakened, "Hurricane Sally is not to be taken for granted." The latest Atlantic storm, Hurricane Paulette, pounded the island of Bermuda on Monday with Category 2 winds and heavy rains, according to the NHC. The center also said Tropical Storm Teddy, currently positioned in the mid-Atlantic, was expected to become a hurricane.
