Hurricane Delta rapidly intensified into a potentially catastrophic Category 4 hurricane with 130 mph (215 kmh) winds Tuesday on a course to hammer southeastern Mexico and then continue on to the U.S. Gulf coast this week.
The worst of the immediate impact was expected along the resort-studded northeastern tip of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, where hurricane conditions were expected Tuesday night and landfall early Wednesday.
From Tulum to Cancun, tourism-dependent communities still being soaked Tuesday by the remnants of Tropical Storm Gamma could bear the brunt of the storm...
Mexico began evacuating tourists and residents from coastal areas along its Riviera Maya Tuesday. Quintana Roo Gov. Carlos Joaquin said that buses were already carrying people off Holbox Island and hotels in Cancun and Puerto Morelos were busing their guests inland to government shelters.
Some hotels that had exemptions because their structures were rated for major hurricanes were preparing to shelter their guests in place and testing their emergency systems...
Once it moves on from Mexico, it’s expected to regain Category 4 status over the Gulf as it approaches the U.S. coast, where landfall around Friday would be followed by heavy rainfall across the southeastern United States.
“While there is large uncertainty in the track and intensity forecasts, there is a significant risk of dangerous storm surge, wind, and rainfall hazards along the coast from Louisiana to the western Florida Panhandle beginning Thursday night or Friday. Residents in these areas should ensure they have their hurricane plan in place and monitor updates to the forecast of Delta,” the Hurricane Center said.

Get ready.
The Gulf has been busy the past while....us folks in the Biloxi/Gulfport area dodged a couple and are watching this one carefully - especially once it comes off the Yucatan peninsula.
Praying for it to miss us and ready to donate some “guilt funds/supplies” for whoever ends up in its path.
We’re already prepping in South Louisiana...sigh. At least by this point you have most supplies already from past storms!
But haven’t seen a hurricane in October in a while. Weathermen getting hysterical; they want destruction for some reason.
They will blame it on climate change. Watch.
Definitely they have. People begin to believe it since they are so hysterical with reporting. With fires, flooding, hurricanes, weather 90’s one day, snow the next, it’s becoming difficult to fight the propaganda.
It’s not serious until Jim cantore shows up in your area…
No doubt. We don’t blame anybody. It’s part of living here. But we could skip this one & nobody would complain!
All the tacks have it heading to Louisiana.
This could lead aligatornados.
