Gordon Weakens as It Heads North
From Times Wire Reports
Tropical Depression Gordon drenched parts of the Southeast but did little to offset the region’s long-running drought, with torrential rains running off the parched ground. The former hurricane caused scattered flooding, roof damage and power outages across Florida, but no deaths. It produced little more than hard rain as it streamed across Georgia and up the East Coast into North Carolina. But 200 miles south of the Keys, on Sanibel Island, damage was estimated at more than $1 million.
