#Sally continues its slow & dangerous trek inland. With max sustained winds at 105 mph, it remains a Cat 2 storm, battering the Gulf Coast with hurricane-force winds and heavy rain.
Sally's northern eyewall has made it onshore; landfall is expected w/in the next 1-2 hours or so
Several feet of storm surge is likely as winds from #Sally push water onshore.
Catastrophic and life-threatening flooding also continues as slow-moving #Sally drops inches of rain across portions of the Gulf Coast states. Several inches of rain, perhaps localized amounts of 20"+, is yet to come.
Inland flooding remains a huge concern. Flood and flash flood watches have been extended up into southeastern Virginia.
We're up early with you to continue our live coverage of #Sally.

Fall has arrived! 🍂 To celebrate the #FirstDayOfFall, we've made a list of all the ways you can get outside and enjoy what many praise as the best weather of the year!
THREAD ⬇️
🍎🍏 Apple picking 🍏🍎
We can't think of a better (or tastier!) socially-distanced outing. Put on your flannel, search for your nearest orchard, and get to picking! Send us a pie, please 🥧
🎃 Pumpkin carving 🎃
No front porch is complete without a classic jack-o'-lantern! Bonus points if you carve a TWC logo 😉
No matter the forecast, our planet's animals always seem to have it figured out. Here's some examples of wildlife with wild relationships with the weather (say that five times fast)!
THREAD ⬇️
Many animals seem to be able to predict the weather.
One example is frogs, who are said to croak louder when a storm is brewing 🐸 ⛈️
However, our favorite furry forecaster will always be Punxsutawney Phil!
We're declaring today #MarsMonday! In anticipation of our LIVE coverage of the historic @NASAPersevere launch Wednesday and Thursday, let's look at some fascinating facts about the Red Planet's weather...
THREAD ⬇️
@NASAPersevere A year on Earth is 365 days, but what about Mars? One year on Mars would be equivalent to 687 Earth days, but 668 "sols" (Mars days)! One sol is about 39 minutes longer than an Earth day.
@NASAPersevere Therefore, seasons on Mars are much longer than ours! Would you rather have 65 extra days of winter, or 85 extra days of summer?
Last night, we had survival instructor (and host of our show, SOS: How to Survive) Creek Stewart on @wunderground to talk about clever hacks to beat the heat!
THREAD OF TIPS ⬇️
@wunderground 1️⃣ Focus on your pulse points! A wet bandana around your neck can really cool you down.
2️⃣ Power out from summer storms? Here's how to build a non-electric AC!
