Ok, so everything in my last post can officially be tossed out the window.

And its going to be an all dayer for New Orleans and the River Parishes.

Port Fouchren and Grand Isle might be gone in a few hours. Surge expected to be 15 Ft

Watching a radar loop on RadarScope and it may be lining up Nola for a direct hit. This is worst case scenario unfolding. I'm hoping just my small loop I have to watch is just a track wobble. Even if it doesn't strengthen another mph it will decimate Nola with a direct hit.

New Orleans going to be in 100+ winds most of tomorrow. So is Baton Rouge

Yeah it?s about to get bad

IM on Big Lake by JD. They are predicting 7 Ft surge here. I'm watching WWL and they are showing the water near the top of the seashore in Lakeview in NO.

I know about where that is. We?re on a small bayou off of Spanish trail. Zeta brought the water up about an inch from coming into our house. We?ve been sand bagging all afternoon

We are gonna get about 6-7 inches of rain fir the duration but that depends on who get a squall.

145 gusting to 165 at 4 am.

I hate to say it but Ida is making a run for cat 5. Pressure is continuing to drop. Recon just measured 936mb in the eye and the eye has continued to decrease in size. It was 25 miles in diameter and is now under 20 miles. Looks to make landfall between Grand Isle and Nola.

Winds now 150mph.

Gotta work tonight in Hattiesburg, best guess on what we're going to see?

This, my friends, is going to be one to remember. Time to reach down and grab a handful!

Just had a squall go through the Coast. 1/2 inch of rain with 46MPH gust. Thank God that thing isn't going to hit here. The silver slipper has water in their parking lot.

Directtv weather channel.....I had to change my home zip code. That constant loud beeping is annoying and you can't clear it!!
Man, this thing blew up last night!!

Latest recon data suggesting Ida is now a 5 with winds to 160. Have to see if they make that call officially.
