Fox News: “A rapidly strengthening Hurricane Delta is taking aim at the resort hotspot of Mexico’s northeastern Yucatan Peninsula before targeting the U.S. Gulf Coast later this week. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Tuesday morning that Hurricane Delta is now a Category 4 storm, packing maximum sustained winds of 130 mph as it is located 315 miles east-southeast of Cozumel moving west-northwest at 16 mph. The storm was upped from a Category 3 to a 4 between 10:50 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. EDT, with forecasters labeling the storm as ‘dangerous.'”
“‘It rapidly intensified last night to a Category 2, we’re expecting it, unfortunately, to become a major hurricane and impact the Gulf Coast,’ Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean said on ‘Fox & Friends.’ ‘We think Louisiana is in the crosshairs.’ The storm rapidly intensified overnight from having 80 mph winds into a Category 4 hurricane with 130 mph gales and is expected to strengthen even further as it moves north into the Gulf of Mexico.”
