It continued to gain strength and move NE. Tropcial Storm and Hurricane warnings where issued. It then strengthened to a hurricane(75mph) while or just before crossing Grand Isle, LA. Hurricane Danny then drifted NE over open Gulf waters into Mobile Bay where it stregthened to a 80mph hurricane. It churned up waters there and then after several hours it moved inland near Mobile Bay. Danny weakened to a depression, and then to a land low. It moved through the Southeast while maintaining a great circulation. Then, something uncommon happened; Danny began gaining strength while still over North Carolina soil. By the time it reached the Atlantic it was renamed Tropcial Storm Danny off the coast of Norfolk, Virginia. Danny moved radily to the NE and its winds strengthened to 60mph. Tropical Storm warnings were issued for areas around Cape Cod, but luckily Danny passed east of Cape Cod and weakened, becoming extratropical.
