Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey declared a State of Emergency in anticipation of Hurricane Delta, which as of Tuesday morning was a Category 4 Hurricane slated to impact the Gulf states.

“As our coastal areas are still recovering from Hurricane Sally, another system, Hurricane Delta, is making its way toward the Gulf Coast and could potentially have a significant impact on Alabama,” Ivey said in a statement.
