(Worthy News) – With nearly two months left in the Atlantic hurricane season, Hurricane Delta is expected to make landfall on the mainland United States later this week, the 10th storm this season to do so.
Delta’s landfall would mark the most named storms — hurricanes, tropical storms, or otherwise — to hit the U.S. since 1916, when nine storms barraged the country, according to the Weather Channel.
The storm has rapidly strengthened since it formed and is projected to be the third major storm to make landfall as a Category 2 hurricane, according to ABC News. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
