AccuWeather: Hurricane Warning for New Orleans as Storm Aims for Gulf Coast
Pastor Dewey Moede
Zeta, the 27th named storm of the 2020 hurricane season, emerged over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, where it will intensify back into hurricane force before it crashes into Louisiana, near Houma, which is southeast of Morgan City, late Wednesday. Forecasters have rated Zeta a 1 on the AccuWeather RealImpact™ Scale at the time of landfall. The state is bracing for its fifth strike from a named storm of the season, which will make the United States tally for land-falling storms climb to 11 — a record for the country.
Hurricane warnings were in effect along the Gulf Coast from central Louisiana eastward to the Mississippi/Alabama border. New Orleans, which has been spared the worst from storms striking Louisiana so far this year, was included in the area under hurricane warnings.
