PENSACOLA, Fla. — A child in the Florida Panhandle was killed Tuesday night as Tropical Storm Gordon approached the Central Gulf Coast.

The storm made landfall just west of the Alabama-Mississippi border around 10 p.m., but the winds and rain did not spare the Panhandle.

A tree fell on a mobile home in Pensacola, killing a child inside. No one else was hurt.

Gordon's maximum sustained winds were 70 miles per hour, not enough to achieve hurricane status.

However, Gordon still made its presence known.

The storm dumped a tremendous amount of rain and left debris in its path.

Gulf Power in the Florida Panhandle has restored power to more than 10,000 customers, but thousands are still remain without power Wednesday morning.

Gordon weakened as it made its way up Mississippi into a tropical depression.

Spectrum News 13 Weather experts say the threat of heavy rains and flooding continues along with the possibility of tornadoes.
