Intense Hurricane Delta Threatens Louisiana And Florida

Hurricane Delta, the 25th named Atlantic storm this year, is moving toward the Gulf of Mexico and expected to take aim at the U.S. Gulf Coast this week as a major hurricane, the National Hurricane Center said.

If Delta strikes the U.S. Gulf Coast, it would break a record that dates back to 1916 for the most named storms to hit the United States, another milestone in a year marked by repeated natural disasters, ranging from floods to wildfires to tornados.

The storm was expected to drop heavy rains on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula and head up the Gulf of Mexico toward landfall between Louisiana and Florida, possibly becoming a Category 4 hurricane on Thursday with catastrophic damage to properties in its path.

Delta was 115 miles south southwest of the Grand Cayman islands on Tuesday “in the midst of a very impressive rapid intensification episode” with 110 mile-per-hour (175 km/hr) winds, NHC forecaster Eric Blake said. Wind speeds could reach 130 mph (209 km) by Thursday.
