Hurricane Delta, initially a Category 2 storm, downgraded to Category 1 after hitting Louisiana. It marked the tenth cyclone to hit the U.S. this year, setting a record. The storm left over 250,000 without power. Louisiana's government urged caution and mobilized the National Guard, leading to mass evacuations. Damage was hard to estimate, but heavy rains raised flooding fears, with warnings of dangerous storm surges. Delta was the 26th storm in an unusually active hurricane season, with six affecting Louisiana, still recovering from Hurricane Laura. Climate change, warming ocean waters, is likely to increase the frequency of stronger hurricanes.
