Hurricane Zeta Hits Mississippi With Strong Wind and Rain

Hurricane Zeta slammed into storm-weary Louisiana on Wednesday with New Orleans squarely in its path, pelting homes and businesses with rain and high winds and threatening to push up to 9 feet of sea water inland in a Gulf Coast region already pounded by multiple storms this year.

Some roads were flooded near the coast, where forecasters said Zeta was making landfall around Terrebone Bay near Cocodrie.

But neighboring Mississippi felt the impact as Zeta made landfall in Louisiana.

Video by local station WLOX showed very rough water in Bay St. Louis.

In Mississippi, street lights swayed in Biloxi and the city of Pass Christian ordered all boats out of the harbor.

Zeta had top sustained winds of 110 (177 kph) as a Category 2 hurricane and was the 27th named storm of a historically busy Atlantic hurricane season — with over a month left before it ends.

Hurricane warnings stretched from Morgan City, Louisiana, to the Alabama/Mississippi state line, including Lake Pontchartrain and metropolitan New Orleans.
