Hurricane Delta made landfall this Friday afternoon off the coast of Louisiana with Category 2 winds. The center of the phenomenon made landfall at 6:00 pm (ET) near the town of Creole, with maximum winds of 105 mph (165 km / h).
Although its strength began to be felt since the afternoon, the cyclone hit "almost exactly" in the same place where Hurricane Laura struck less than two months ago.
It is an area still devastated by this phenomenon, which caused at least 27 deaths in late August.
Delta is the 10th named storm to hit the continental United States this year.
Before making landfall in Louisiana, the cyclone struck the Yucatan Peninsula, causing flooding and economic damage.
Four million people, from the coast of this state to central Mississippi, were under flash flood watch as of Thursday.
