More than 485,000 without power after Sally, Laura hit the Gulf Coast

摘要

Four weeks after Hurricane Laura and one day after Hurricane Sally made landfall, almost 485,000 power customers lack service in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Louisiana, which has weakened power demand and power prices across the South. Meanwhile, a tropical disturbance in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico has a 90% chance of forming into another tropical depression, storm or hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center. Post-tropical depression Sally was “still producing torrential rains over the Carolinas” with maximum sustained winds near 30 mph and “little change” forecast through the morning of Sept. 19, the NHC said in one of its final public advisories about the storm on Sept. 17.
