Current forecast wind map. I'm in the potential for 58-73 mph zone. Had 80-90 mph wind here during Laura last year.  Crazy wind threat well-inland into Mississippi. |

Louisiana looks like it's in for a battering from Ida. Cat 4, and potential for Cat 5 at landfall. Fuck!! It's strengthened to a Cat 4 as of 4 AM:  Category 3+ (110+ mph) winds impacting both New Orleans and Baton Rouge:  Could definitely be a Category 5 by landfall. Very scary situation for that region, it's basically another Katrina... |

Very scary situation for that region, it's basically another Katrina... Yeah looks quite scary for SE Louisiana... I think the surge/flooding isn't expected to be as bad for New Orleans compared to Katrina. With Katrina the storm went east of New Orleans which pushed the surge in from Lake Pontchartrain. The threat seems to be lessening for me. Hurricane force winds have been trimmed back in NWS's latest map and don't even extend into MS. |

High/low of 76/68 today with humid overcast conditions, but thankfully no rain.
80s next couple of days, mid-week rain from Ida remnants, then looks like a typical stable upper 70s September pattern with dry weather.

good comparison of the size of the two storms; Katrina was larger but weaker in the center at landfall. Katrina had a higher peak intensity before landfall and churned up the ocean more  |

NWS going for a whopping 3-4" here. I don't think we'll get quite that much

it will be interesting to see the storm surge totals after damage is assessed, the last forecast before landfall was up to 16ft along a section of southeastern LA
