Gulf State’s have another storm knocking on their doors…

As Hurricane Delta continued its arc across the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday afternoon, the storm, like so many before it, was drawing from warm waters and strengthening as it spun toward the Louisiana coastline.

It has been just six weeks since Hurricane Laura crashed into the United States near here, tied as the strongest Category 4 hurricane ever to make landfall in Louisiana, and less than a month since Hurricane Sally was the first since 2004 to make landfall in Alabama. Delta’s sustained wind speeds surged to 115 mph on Thursday evening, and forecasts were calling for it to remain intense, potentially bringing catastrophic force along with another huge storm surge, flooding and devastation to a region that has yet to recover from its last battering.
