To those who slept through Ida's landfall in Lousiana, all I can say is no wonder even the NHC practically begged people to leave. The storm explosively intensified into a very high end Category 4 overnight and if I lived in that area I'd probably be dead right now.
Still just amazing structure and crawling.

Looks to be definitely moving due North now (4:45 pm cst). On its present track, this will put New Orleans in the right quadrant somewhere near sunset. Not a good situation.

Hearing about a levee being overtopped.
Noticed the more northern movement and how it’s definitely holding its structure. Also, looks like Mobile radar is down

Video of Ida's eyewall hitting Golden Meadow. That howl is ghastly.

The eye is starting to contract rapidly, looks like land interaction is finally impacting the structure of Ida.

I’m hearing a lot of reports of structural damage occurring in Metairie and Kenner. Likely all of NOLA metro now.
