When Hurricane Sally touched down on land in Alabama Wednesday morning the storm made landfall in the same spot, exactly 16 years to the day later, as Hurricane Ivan, which also struck Gulf Shores in 2004. Despite the similarities, which extend even to the storms’ similar tracks, one crucial difference is the speed of the hurricanes. Ivan pummeled the area, rapidly moving through the area at about 13 mph. Sally, on the other hand, travelled through the area at about 2 mph.
