Delta, now categorized as a post-tropical cyclone, 'continues to be a heavy rainfall threat,' the National Hurricane Center warned Sunday.
Delta made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane, with a maximum wind speed of 100 miles per hour as it hit the Louisiana town of Creole on Friday.
The winds in Mississippi were reported to be strongest in the west and southwest regions of the state, where emergency management officials reported downed power lines, snapped trees as well as damage to structures and cars, Mississippi's WTOK-TV reported. One to three inches of rain are projected for much of the rest of the Mid-Atlantic region, with locally higher amounts expected."Localized flash and urban flooding are possible, but overall hydrologic impacts are expected to be minimal," the NHC noted.
"We have been working with our federal and local partners to prepare for and quickly respond to this hurricane, even as we continue to recover from Hurricane Laura and manage the COVID-19 public health emergency," the governor said in a statement at the time.
