Hurricane Delta, a Category 2 hurricane, made its way to Louisiana, devastating millions of people in the area.

“More than half a million people reported that they were without power, which represented about 25% of the population,” Governor John Bel Edwards states. “There will be damage in southwest Louisiana that will be very difficult to differentiate between what was caused by Hurricane Laura and what was caused by Hurricane Delta.” This means this hurricane would be equally as catastrophic and damaging. Originally Hurricane Delta was meant to be a Category 3, but it ended up being a Category 2. However, the damage was just as devastating to the people who were affected by it.

Just for a second, the hurricane had calmed down, but it quickly resumed and the winds ferociously overtook the city. Power outages were increasing.

Hurricane Delta died down a bit after the landfall, however, many at home were stuck without power. The National Guard recruited about 3,000 men with water, tarps, and bags to distribute. They were ready to help wherever it was needed. There were no lives lost as a result of the hurricane, but people were advised to stay aware and safe. Although the hurricane ended, the remnants of its damage included power outages, flooded roads, and displaced wildlife. Those affected by Hurricane Delta were left to face the damage that was left behind.
