With Theta — the 29th named storm — forming off East Africa, the year becomes the most active in 169 years of keeping records.
The storm’s zig-zag path is supposed to take it back to the West Coast of Florida this week.
The Category 3 storm was packing 120-mph winds this morning.
It struck the Yucatan Peninsula as a Category 2 storm and is expected to hit the U.S. Gulf Coast on Friday.
The company donated law enforcement-grade waterproof jackets to volunteers responding to hurricanes Laura and Sally.
The hurricane was the 18th named storm in the Atlantic this year. Rescues are ongoing in parts of the Panhandle, and officials are urging evacuation in Santa Rosa County.
The slow pace of the hurricane is increasing flooding threats, with rainfall totals that could grow up to 35 inches across parts of Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
NWS: The storm is still causing “life-threatening storm surge” over much of Louisiana’s coastline.
Its updated forecast calls for “one of the most active” seasons in the agency’s 22 years of issuing guidance.
