Nueva Orleans. El huracán Sally sacude este martes la costa estadounidense del Golfo de México amenazando a Alabama y Misisipi con súbitas y mortales inundaciones pese a haberse debilitado a categoría 1.

El Centro Nacional de Huracanes (CNH) dijo que el ciclón podría tocar tierra a última hora de este martes y se desplazaba con vientos de hasta 130 km por hora; algo menos que a comienzos de la jornada.
