On September 15, 2020, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this midday image as the slow-moving, category 2 hurricane inched closer to the U.S. Gulf Coast. The National Hurricane Center warned of life-threatening flash floods and storm surges through September 16. Sally could drop 10-20 inches (25-50 centimeters) of rain on parts of the Gulf Coast between Mississippi and the Florida panhandle.
