Ida looks like Katrina 2.0.

buckle up cajuns. better yet, get the falk out of dodge.

When your city is 6+ feet below sea level, things can get dicey.

Don't they generally steadfastly refuse to leave until it's too late?

We got saddled with a number of Katrina refugees, and it caused problems. Such is life I reckon.

 

[JTM45]

Man this could be a messy one. I hope they got out

 

[DavGrape]

Sucker's big... they're telling the storm-ride-outs the potential surge is not survivable, you're pretty much on your own.

current prediction for 1:28AM central.

I posted this in the Hatter thread a bit after 5pm CST..... Satellite, Visible.

current tracking.

I use windy.com.... all kinds of stuff to look at....

Thankfully I’m west of this shit show.. BR and Nola is about to go for a ride though… ole soup bowl Nola

 

[ehb]

Yep, if the model stays true, they are gonna be slammed... I-10 has been almost a parking lot headed west out of the area...

We've gotten some heavy periodic rain this after noon late.... We ain't even close to NOLA...

 

[flamesarewicked]

I’m about an hour north of Lafayette.. still looking for 50-60mph gusts and 3-6 inches of rain. It’ll be bad enough for us

 

[Sct13]

Wow I have been watching this on earth.nullshool.net

Hopefully everyone has enough time to get out.....its just not a good place to plant a city

 

[ShelbyDude]

I'm about 20 minutes south of Baton Rouge. Pretty calm right now, but we're expecting it to get pretty bad in the early AM. We shouldn't get the storm surge that they will in NOLA. That storm surge is what usually causes the most damage.

 

[ehb]

Be safe, buds! Don't be a statistic....

Man, people tryin'a sleep! That storm has no chill; none.

Hopefully the billions in infrastructure we poured into down there does its job. This will probably be the first real test of the spillways and flood gates they built outside of the city to handle the surge. But just in case I think I’d move the chain saw up into the attic just in case I gotta cut a new skylight/exit til the chopper swings by to pick me up

wax 'em up and get ready...

A glimpse of today’s weather.. this was about 11:30am

 

[Sct13]

It was a “feels like” 101 in Detroit today… miserable…and when it rains … it’s been torrential every time…

And …. Giant Grasshoppers (I haven’t seen since 1977) and tonight … dozens of dragonflies hunting mosquitoes.. (which was pretty cool to watch)… dragonflies are NOT common around here..

Mosquitoes are especially bad … can’t go out side for more than 10 minutes…

something changed
