Tropical Storm Gordon made landfall overnight Tuesday just west of the Alabama-Mississippi border.

The storm turned deadly as it came ashore, killing a baby in Pensacola, Florida when a tree fell on a mobile home. No other deaths or injuries have been reported.

The cyclone brought heavy rain but never quite strengthened to a hurricane. It weakened to a tropical depression over central Mississippi on Wednesday.
