Storm Spreads Rain Across Southeast (Associated Press)

Quotes:

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - "Tropical Storm Hanna poured up to 5 inches of rain
in coastal Alabama and the Florida Panhandle on Saturday before moving
inland and spreading rain across the Southeast. A swimmer in Florida
disappeared in rough surf and was presumed drowned. Heavy rain and
lightning briefly cut power to the sold-out Williams-Brice Stadium as the
storm pushed through Columbia, S.C., Saturday afternoon, delaying the
Georgia-South Carolina game for nearly an hour at 4 p.m. The storm came
ashore in Mobile County with 50 mph winds but by afternoon was downgraded
to a tropical depression with winds dropping to 30 mph. Alabama Gov. Don
Siegelman and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush declared emergencies in affected
counties, but little damage or flooding was reported immediately. The
hardest hit area was Dauphin Island, Ala., where some roads were underwater
and the causeway and bridge to the island were closed. Tallahassee, Fla.,
had some road flooding, while fallen tree limbs and power outages were
reported in the Pensacola area. At one point, 20,000 homes and business
were without power in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, Gulf Power Co.
officials reported."
