Marine Hurricane/Typhoon · Gulf of Mexico

Hurricane force wind gusts occurred at Intracoastal City. The highest wind gusts recorded at the mouth of the Atchafalaya was 54 knots.

A tropical wave moved into the Caribbean in early October and became a tropical depression by the 5th. The system quickly gained strength and obtained category 4 status before shear weakened it back to a category 2. The hurricane weakened farther while over the Yucatan Peninsula, however after moving into the southern gulf and toward Louisiana it again obtained category 2 status. Delta made landfall on the 9th near where Hurricane Laura did just 6 weeks prior in Cameron Parish.
