Wednesday Morning October 7 2020
Hurricane Delta lost a little speed as it interacted with land overnight. This morning the top winds are 115 mph as it appears to be threading the needle between Cozumel and Cancun Mexico. This is a small storm, but perfectly placed to impact this region. Hurricane force winds reach 30 miles from the center, while tropical storm force winds reach 140 miles away.
Thousands of tourists spent the night in the shelters and wake up to the worst conditions this morning. This Category 3 storm at 4 Am local time, was 35 miles from Cozumel and moving at 17 mph. The worst conditions will be at sunrise. It can bring Storm Surge of 8 to 12 Ft, along with up to 10 inches of rain.
