***TROPICAL ALERT*** TROPICAL STORM ETA (Late season tropical outlook discussion) (2 Viewers)

Previous Next
Hurricane Delta has made landfall at 600pm at Creole LA with 100mph sustained winds. This landfall location is only about 10 miles from where hurricane Laura made landfall 43 days ago

Winds continue to quickly subside over SE TX along with the western edge of the rain shield of Delta. Tides are also falling along the upper TX coast and although there could be minor coastal flooding again at the overnight high tide, levels should be generally below what was experienced this morning.

The landfall of hurricane Delta in this portion of the NW Gulf coast has not occurred since 1893. Delta is now the 6th tropical cyclone to make landfall along the LA or TX coast in the 2020 hurricane season (Cristobal, Hanna, Marco, Laura, Beta, and Delta) and a record 10 tropical cyclones have impacted the entire US coastline this season thus far. Of the 6 tropical systems to make landfall in TX and LA this hurricane season, 3 have been hurricanes (Hanna, Laura, and Delta)

From the weather radar it appears that the CoC was a bit east of Creole, but the eyewall was looking a bit ragged and so it may not have been as far east as the radar was showing.

I don't know how it happened but somehow my place managed to dodge another big storm. I sure wish everyone well... especially those west of St Mary Parish.
 
No doubt the eye looks larger than it really is because the radar isn't penetrating the eyewall very well.
But it still seems to show the center a bit east of Creole, LA.

My family evacuated to Georgia for Katrina. It took 10 hrs to get from Biloxi to Mobile. That's normally a 50 minute drive. I will
never ever ever do that again.

Took me far less time to get up to Ruston. The hardest part was I-10, until I could get to I-55N. Think that part was 3-4 hours. Rest was a breeze. Going North on the Southbound lane at about 80-90mph. lol

Well, technically, Quitman.
