Oct. 28 - Hurricane Zeta roars inland after slamming New Orleans
"As the latest overachieving storm in an unforgiving and record-setting season, Hurricane Zeta roared ashore in southeast Louisiana on Wednesday afternoon. The powerful Category 2 hurricane, which struck near Cocodrie, La., intensified right up until landfall, defying earlier forecasts for a substantially weaker storm.
Shortly after crossing the coast, Zeta slammed into New Orleans, its eye moving directly over the city, cutting power to more than 80 percent of its residents. City officials said that more than 200 trees were down across the city and that one man, electrocuted by downed power lines, died, according to the Associated Press.
Torrential rain is expected all along its path, with widespread amounts of two to four inches and locally up to half a foot. Some flooding is likely."

"Heavy and constant rain has saturated South Florida for much of the weekend, and more wet weather is forecast in the coming days.In Davie, several roads are under water, including a busy area near Nova Southeastern University and Davie Road.
Police also warned residents that College Avenue between Nova Drive and State Road 84 was impassable due to flooding. While waters have since receded, rain forecast for Sunday could quickly change things once again.
Not far away in Lauderhill, residents on Northwest 45th Court near 87th Avenue, right off Pine Island Road, are dealing with a flooded neighborhood.
It was a similar story in Lauderdale Lakes, where drivers navigated through a hazardous roadway at a neighborhood entrance at Oakland Park Boulevard and Somerset Drive."
