Hurricane Zeta surprised forecasters and intensified to a strong Category 2 hurricane hitting the Louisiana Gulf Coast south of New Orleans late afternoon Wednesday, October 28. Hurricane Zeta made landfall near Cocodrie, Louisiana with 110 mph winds, only one mile less than a Category 3 hurricane.

The forecast calls for Zeta to weaken quickly, becoming a tropical storm headed northeast.  The storm surge in the Grand Isle area is estimated at 7-11 feet.
