On Friday evening, Hurricane Delta brought life-threatening storm surge to the southwestern Louisiana coast. This year alone, Louisiana has had <a href="https://abc13.com/weather/2020-hurricane-season-breaks-1916-record/6919871/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">four named storms</a> impact the state. Moreover, Delta was the <a href="https://weather.com/news/news/2020-10-11-hurricane-delta-remnants-train-derails-georgia-flooding-tornado" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">state’s second landfalling hurricane in the past six weeks</a>. As a result, many families displaced from Hurricane Laura were still living in shelters as Delta made landfall. As of Saturday morning, there were <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/10/us/hurricane-delta-damage.html">nearly 9,500 Louisiana residents in shelters</a> from Hurricanes Laura and Delta combined. Presently, <a href="https://abc13.com/weather/2020-hurricane-season-breaks-1916-record/6919871/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">thousands remain without power</a> across Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi. As of Sunday evening, <a href="https://www.wafb.com/2020/10/11/la-reports-least-death-related-hurricane-delta/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">two fatalities </a> in Louisiana were reportedly linked to the storm. Additionally, in Georgia, intense rain and flash flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Delta may have caused a <a href="https://weather.com/news/news/2020-10-11-hurricane-delta-remnants-train-derails-georgia-flooding-tornado" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">train derailment</a> that sparked a fire and caused evacuations within a half mile of the location of the spill.

We are very concerned that with everything going in the country right now that this incident may not be on the radar nationally like it should be.” On Sunday, <a href="https://weather.com/news/news/2020-10-11-hurricane-delta-remnants-train-derails-georgia-flooding-tornado" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">representatives</a> from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) were out surveying the damage across the state.
