Seems like the northern gulf coast has been a hotspot in the past few years.
Louisiana and Florida have taken the brunt of it while we in MS have been on the fringes. Wondering if our streak of luck continues at the expense of our neighbors. I know one thing: the Lake Charles area certainly doesn't need a strong hurricane.
More specifically, in 2020 most of Texas and peninsular Florida escaped significant impacts. The “hot zone” extended from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle and also included South Texas, in addition to the Carolinas, Mid-Atlantic, and southern New England. 2021 might prove to be more fortuitous for those regions, but less auspicious for Southeast Texas and peninsular Florida. It would be quite unusual for back-to-back majors to affect the same region, much less the same communities, in two consecutive years, even though the 12Z GFS is currently showing Laura 2.0. Nevertheless, unlikely events can and do occur from time to time.
