People look at a downed part of a tree after Hurricane Zeta made landfall in New Orleans on Wednesday.

Zeta’s extremely dangerous winds pummelled a stretch of the Gulf Coast from Louisiana to Mississippi.

Zeta’s damaging winds will reach New Orleans, about 158km northeast from Cocodrie, Louisiana, and sweep “across portions of southeastern Mississippi, Alabama, and northern Georgia”, said hurricane centre forecaster Richard Pasch.Its storm surge will reach up to 2.7m from Port Fourchon, Louisiana, to the mouth of the Pearl River, in Mississippi. The storm surge could spill over the levees guarding some of the state’s east.

Oil and gas producers have evacuated 231 offshore production facilities and shut wells producing two-thirds of the offshore region’s oil production and 45% of its natural gas output.
