NEW ORLEANS — Hurricane season lasts until November 30th, which means there are almost 90 days left.
Peak hurricane season is September 10th.
Plenty of storms have made landfall – and a big mess – in Louisiana after the peak of the season in the last 20 or so years.
The history includes:
- September 26, 2002: Hurricane Isidore
- October 3, 2002: Hurricane Lili
- September 16, 2004: Hurricane Ivan
- October 10, 2004: Tropical Storm Matthew
- September 24, 2005: Hurricane Rita
- September 13, 2007: Hurricane Humberto
- September 13, 2008: Hurricane Ike
- November 10th, 2009: Hurricane Ida
- October 6, 2013: Tropical Storm Karen
- October 8, 2017: Hurricane Nate
- October 9, 2020: Hurricane Delta
- October 28, 2020: Hurricane Zeta
But meteorologists at Colorado State say there have been no named formations since Ernesto on August 12. The last time that happened was in the 60s.
History shows us, though, this is not the time to get complacent. About 65 percent of hurricanes come after the beginning of September.
Have a hurricane plan in place and stay tuned to our meteorologists.
