Hurricane Zeta Is Fifth Named Storm to Strike Louisiana During Record 2020 Season
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the Gulf Coast, at least two people were killed Wednesday after
Hurricane Zeta made landfall south of New Orleans as a Category 2 storm.
Zeta moved rapidly inland, leaving more than 1.7 million customers
without power between Louisiana and the Carolinas. It was the fifth
named storm to make landfall in Louisiana this year, the strongest
hurricane since 1899 to hit the U.S. this late in the year, and the 27th
named storm of 2020's unprecedented Atlantic hurricane season.
