Cat4 Hurricane Ida on the Lousianna coast

Ida is a beast. Hitting Louisiana to the day as Katrina as well (Katrina made landfall as a Cat 3)

Ida/Landfall

Hope we never have to go through something like that.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Something like that would wipe us of the map!

[Les Bain]

That wouldn't stop the usual folks from praying we get a direct hit someday.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

The storm weakened 16 hours after Ida made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane. Ida battered Louisiana into Monday, with reports of downed power lines, levee failures and flooding, collapsed buildings and trapped residents on rooftops.

Forecasters warned that flooding from storm surges will continue through Monday morning in parts of Louisiana and Mississippi. As Ida’s center moves into southwestern Mississippi, damaging winds could cause more power outages. Heavy rainfall is possible through Tuesday morning across southeastern Louisiana, coastal Mississippi and southwestern Alabama.
