– Louisiana is cleaning up after Hurricane Delta, which knocked out power for more than half a million people and cut off oil production in the Gulf of Mexico. The storm made landfall Friday as a Category 2 hurricane, the most powerful to hit the state since Hurricane Laura slammed into the region in August, Reuters reports. More than 9,000 people were still in shelters as of Sunday, according to the state’s Department of Children and Family Services. The storm weakened to a post-tropical cyclone on Sunday, but continued to be a heavy rainfall threat, the National Hurricane Center said. The storm knocked out power for more than half a million customers and compounded damage from the more powerful Hurricane Laura, which devastated the region in August. Though Sam Jones, 77, waited out the storm in his Lake Charles home, he was leaving on Sunday to stay with his son in Fort Worth, Texas, because his electricity had not come back online yet. “I don’t see any electricity coming back anytime soon, so I’m going to give them about a week and then come back,” he said. “When you can’t put any air on, it puts you to where you don’t get a good night sleep.”
