The National Hurricane Center has provided information surrounding the potential effects of an approaching major storm system. The storm is projected to be extremely powerful, with sustained winds potentially exceeding 150 mph. This would classify it as a Category 4 or 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Today, the storm system is currently tracking towards the Gulf Coast, with potential landfall areas including Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Coastal regions are on high alert for severe weather conditions.
Authorities are urging residents in the projected path to evacuate if necessary and to prepare for prolonged power outages and flooding. Emergency services are being mobilized to assist with evacuations and to provide aid during and after the storm.
The ongoing storm is being compared to some of the most intense hurricanes in U.S. history, such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Harvey in 2017, both of which caused widespread devastation.
