Hurricane Delta is currently gathering strength in the Gulf of Mexico. It is currently at the upper limits of Category 2, but it is projected to increase in strength to a Category 3 and possibly a Category 4. This is a serious storm.
Even worse for the citizens of Louisiana, Delta currently projects to make landfall off the Louisiana coast early on Saturday morning. Hurricane projections, as we all know, can be an inexact science, but if there is a consensus projection that a Category 4 storm is going to hit your coast on Saturday morning, it’s best to believe that projection than not believe it.
