Hurricane Sally took aim at the central Gulf Coast on Monday, as thousands of people prepared for heavy rain and potentially deadly flooding from New Orleans and Biloxi, Miss., to the Alabama-Florida state line. Sally, with maximum sustained winds of 90 miles an hour, is a Category 1 storm but is likely to strengthen to Category 2 before making landfall in southeast Louisiana or southwest Mississippi late Tuesday, according to the National Hurricane Center.
