    FEMA Transportation Specialist, Vanessa Williams (left) at the FEMA Regional Response Coordination Center (RRCC) in DeKalb County that was actively monitoring Hurricane Sally on Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2020 as the hurricane battered Pensacola, Florida. The federal center was moving and staging resources into place ready to assist those affected by the storm. Many of the workers are working remotely because of the COVID pandemic, but there were also a significant number at the center socially distanced and masked. More than 2 feet of rain was recorded near Naval Air Station Pensacola, and nearly 3 feet of water covered streets in downtown Pensacola, the National Weather Service reported. Escambia County Fire personnel are reportedly engaged in water rescues at a Pensacola apartment complex. A crane collapsed on the city’s three-mile bridge during the height of the storm. Officials later said a portion of the bridge may be missing. After dumping rain on the coast Wednesday, Sally was forecast to bring heavy downpours to parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas later in the week. Stacy Stewart, a senior specialist with the National Hurricane Center, said the Category 2 hurricane might make history for rainfall. (John Spink / John.Spink@ajc.com)
