Remnants of Hurricane Sally Affect North and Central Georgia

September 16 - 17, 2020 

 

Hurricane Sally made landfall early on the morning of September 16, 2020 along the border of Alabama and Florida, bringing widespread damage to that portion of the coast. After landfall, Sally moved slowly northeastward before picking up speed and moving toward Georgia as it quickly weakened.

The remnants of Sally brought widespread heavy rainfall and flooding to the local area. Additionally, wind gusts reached 35 - 40 mph, with a peak gust of 43 mph in Columbus. While these winds were light enough to spare the area from much wind damage, some trees were downed given the saturated soils, leading to scattered power outages and damage to some homes.

 

Heavy Rainfall & Flooding

Hurricane Sally made landfall early on the morning of September 16, 2020 along the border of Alabama and Florida.  Heavy rainfall from Sally overspread much of the local area from late on the afternoon of September 16th through the morning of September 17th, especially across most of central Georgia northward into the Atlanta metro. Widespread rainfall totals from 3 - 6" with localized totals of 7 - 8" caused flash flooding in many areas. Lingering flooding of some streams and rivers occurred for several days after the rain had ended.

Gusty Winds

While Sally weakened sufficiently to prevent widespread damaging winds from affecting the local area, occasional gusts of 35-40 mph were recorded. In combination with the heavy rainfall causing soils to be saturated, some trees were downed, leading to scattered power outages.

 

The strongest wind gusts in the local area were recorded in Columbus, where gusts peaked at 43 mph.

 

Wind gusts reached 39 mph at the Atlanta airport.
