Hurricane Delta, now a tropical storm, made landfall near Creole, Louisiana, on Friday evening, with nearly 11 million people in the storm’s path. More than 700,000 power outages were reported across Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi Saturday morning as the storm moved further inland.
“Delta will continue to impact portions of the Gulf Coast with storm surge, heavy rainfall, flooding, and dangerous winds as it advances northward,” the National Weather Service said Saturday.
The hurricane slammed the same region that was devastated by Hurricane Laura just six weeks ago.
Delta is now expected to move across northeastern Louisiana before heading over northern Mississippi and into the Tennessee Valley later Saturday and Sunday, according to forecasters. It is expected to weaken further, to a tropical depression, later on Saturday.
