Hurricane "Zeta" makes landfall in Yucatan, heads toward U.S. Gulf Coast

The Watchers by Teo Blašković on October 27, 2020

Hurricane "Zeta" made landfall along the northeast coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico near Ciudad Chemuyil around 04:00 UTC on October 27, 2020. The storm had estimated maximum winds of 130 km/h (80 mph), making it a category one hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

•   NHC forecasters expect tropical storm conditions to continue in portions of the northern Yucatan Peninsula through this morning (LT). Heavy rainfall is expected across the Yucatan Peninsula, the Cayman Islands, and western Cuba today, which could lead to flash flooding in urban areas.

•   Zeta is forecast to approach the northern Gulf Coast on Wednesday and make landfall late Wednesday or Wednesday night (LT/CDT) at or near hurricane strength.

At the time of landfall, Zeta's center was located about 25 km (15 miles) NNE of Tulum, Mexico, and was moving NW at 20 km/h (13 mph). The storm brought strong winds and heavy rain to the Yucatan Peninsula, along with a storm surge 0.6 - 1.2 m (2 - 4 feet) above normal tides.

By 09:00 UTC today, Zeta was located about 140 km (85 miles) ESE of Progreso, Mexico, and about 905 km (560 miles) S of the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Maximum sustained winds decreased to 110 km/h (70 mph) while minimum central pressure rose to 984 hPa (from 977 hPa at 04:00 UTC).

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards has declared a state of emergency ahead of hurricane Zeta's landfall. Tropical Storm Zeta strengthened to become a Category 1 hurricane on Monday, according to the US National Hurricane Center (NHC). Today, I declared a state of emergency in advance of Hurricane #Zeta. Now is the time for all Louisianans to prepare", Edwards said on Twitter on Monday.

The NHC said late on Monday that Zeta was expected to make landfall within hours, over the northern Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, with hurricane conditions and a dangerous storm surge. Zeta's northwestward motion is expected to continue for the next day. Zeta is expected to approach the northern Gulf Coast on Wednesday, making landfall in Louisiana on Wednesday night.

Zeta will intensify into a hurricane and first make landfall in Yucatan, then head into the Gulf for the 11th landfall of a tropical system in the United States mainland next week. It has been less than three weeks since Hurricane Delta made landfall in Louisiana. Zeta is the 27th named storm of 2020, a new record, this is the seventh time Louisiana has faced the threat of tropical storms or hurricanes.

Yesterday we evacuated the Gulf.  This evening, we evacuated Lafourche Parish.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

So....this is the 27th "named" storm of the season.  "Zeta" is the 6th letter of the Greek alphabet, so what letter names were skipped?  Q?  X?  Then what?
