– Ripping tarps from already damaged roofs and scattering debris piled by roadsides, Hurricane Delta inflicted a new round of destruction on Louisiana as it struck communities still reeling after Hurricane Laura took a similar path just six weeks earlier.
Delta's reach stretched as far west as Galveston, Texas, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) from where the storm struck Louisiana.
Tropical Storm Marco fizzled as it hit the southeast Louisiana tip just three days before Laura struck.
“The wind is much worse than what Hurricane Laura brought,” Gove said in a message on Twitter.
