A second death from Hurricane Sally has been reported in Alabama on a day that also saw the National Hurricane Centre have to resort to using the Greek alphabet for storm names in a record-setting season.

Baldwin County coroner Dr Brian Pierce said the death in the Foley area and was of someone who was involved in storm clean-up.
