Storm Zeta continues on its path north after decimating neighbourhoods while passing through Louisiana. It made U.S. landfall as a Category 2 storm in the state on Wednesday afternoon, bringing 110-mph wind and causing serious destruction to coastal towns and the Greater New Orleans area. Although Zeta has weakened and is now classified as a tropical storm, it is still expected to cause major damage as it crosses Alabama, Mississippi, northern Georgia, the Carolinas, and Southeastern Virginia. The storm is forecast to bring heavy rainfall and dangerous gusts of 45mph to 70mph to Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia. «Wind gusts could be especially severe in the Southern Appalachian Mountains,» the National Hurricane Center (NHC) warned. «Through today, heavy rainfall is expected near and in advance of Zeta from portions of the central Appalachians, Mid-Atlantic and lower to middle Ohio Valley. This rainfall may lead to flash, urban, small stream and isolated minor river flooding.
