Alaberry,
You may be thinking of Isidore in 2002. The storm came into the Gulf as a category 4, hooked left into the northern Yucatan Penninsula where it weakened to a strong Tropical Storm. It moved north and made landfall in Louisiana with 70 mph winds, but was incredibly broad as it moved through the Gulf. Ike has reminded me of a much stronger version of this storm on its trek through the Gulf.
