USA South 2020 – Prelaunch Update 2

Keeping an eye on Hurricane Delta

Because it is still hurricane season and well, it’s 2020, I decided to check the Weather Channel’s website to see if anything was brewing that might impact my travel. Well, it is yet another hurricane in Caribbean headed towards Cancun, Mexico and then into the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico….well that’s not good.

Hurricane Delta is forecasted to grow into a Cat 3 hurricane and then weaken to Cat 2 before making landfall October 9th somewhere between Louisiana and Florida. Of course storm strength, timing and path can change greatly still.

Keeping Things in Perspective

Firstly, I have the luxury of adjusting my route and timing if needed to avoid the effects of a hurricane. My thoughts and prayers for well being go out to those who live along the Gulf who do not have this luxury.

With regard to Hurricane Delta, I will not be approaching north of the forecasted possible landfall area until October 14th at which time Delta should be well to the northeast and maybe just some lingering rain and thunderstorms to contend with. I will continue to monitor the weather as stated at the start of this post….it is still hurricane season and well, it’s 2020.
