According to the National Hurricane Center, Hermine will be the eighth storm to hit the country in 2016. Hermine is not officially a storm yet and is still called weather disturbance 99L

Hermine's possible second landfall

As Hermine develops into a full storm, it will make its first landfall in Florida. It then may be pushed further into the Gulf of Mexico, where it could possibly make its second landfall. Meteorologist Jon Erdman from weather.com said that this could happen somewhere near the Gulf Coast next week. Erdman is tracking the storm's path. He predicts that this will move through Florida or along the Florida Straits and then it will move through the Gulf Coast.

Terrible news for Louisiana flood victims

Victims of the catastrophic flooding in Louisiana have not recovered yet, with still thousands of residents with homes underwater. Some are still in evacuation centers, while some are seeking refuge elsewhere. Thirteen people were reported to have perished from the flooding. If reports are correct, Hermine would worsen the conditions in Louisiana.

Timothy Destri from the National Weather Service New Orleans office said that the area could again experience flooding. He added that if the storm moves to the west part of the state, this could bring unprecedented rainfall into Louisiana again.

Hermine is currently located 1,000 miles southeast of Miami around Wednesday afternoon. It could move west to west-northwest along the Dominican Republic and Haiti come Thursday.   Add Comments>>
