Hurricane Delta to Strengthen as It Blitzes Across Gulf of Mexico

(Worthy News) – The storm-weary Gulf Coast, an area still reeling from back-to-back blows from devastating Hurricane Laura and more recently Sally, is bracing for yet another strike, this time a potentially disastrous one from Hurricane Delta. The formidable hurricane crashed onshore in Mexico early Wednesday morning, cutting power and causing damage along its path, but losing wind intensity as it moved over land. Forecasters warned that the hurricane is expected to regain strength and return to major hurricane status as it emerges over the warm waters of the southern Gulf of Mexico and begins barreling toward the U.S. coast.

Delta weakened overnight as it tracked closer to the northeastern part of the Yucatan Peninsula, eventually making landfall in Mexico around 5:30 a.m. CDT Wednesday near the town of Puerto Morelos, south of Cancun along the Riviera Maya. At the time of landfall, Delta was a strong Category 2 storm with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph, just 1 mph below major hurricane strength.

Maximum sustained winds had weakened to 100 mph by 1:00 p.m. CDT Wednesday as the storm raced northwestward at 17 mph after emerging over the southern Gulf of Mexico. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said that an Air Force hurricane hunter was currently en route to investigate the system. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
