Will this be the storm that brings down New Orleans for good?

[Utilit99 4,099]

Cat 3 on the way? 

Just get rid of that shlthole city.

Tropical Storm Ida could be a 'worst-case scenario' for Louisiana, Gulf Coast as heat continues across US

This could be a worst-case scenario for this area, but there is still some time to fine-tune the forecast.  

Most reliable forecast models have the system moving into the coast of Louisiana, but how bad this storm will be for New Orleans is dependent upon where its center comes ashore.

I wonder if Lootie is still alive. Best Halloween costume for years after Katrina. All you needed was brown face paint, 12 pack of Heineken, and a tub of ice.

New Orleans evacuates as Hurricane Ida could strengthen to Category 4 with 140 mph winds

Ida could make landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on Sunday when it hits the Gulf Coast with maximum winds of 140 mph, according to the latest forecast from the National Hurricane Center. 

Mandatory evacuations are being ordered in Louisiana on Friday as Ida gains strength in the gulf. 

The storm was about 90 miles southwest of Havana, Cuba around 5 p.m. ET. Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and western Cuba will face heavy rains, flash flooding, and mudslides throughout Friday evening. 

[lod001 1,344]

the whole area needs to be abandoned for good. It's underwater as it is and it's a magnet for hurricanes. Ida is gonna buttfock the residents bigly.

[lod001 1,344]

Waiting for the 'ida winds will create a superspreader event. 

The good thing actually is this upcoming potential disaster will create another event for biden to screw up and at the same time put the jab talk on the back burner.

Problem is the border will be more and more opened up with no attention to it.

This thing is predicted to be a Category 4, and New Orleans would get the storm's dirty side. That's SUSTAINED winds of between 130 and 156 mph. Katrina was only a Category 3.

You most certainly do not want to ride out a Category 4.

 Staying put again. Bunny loves Mother Nature. 
 

 And Katrina was a four before landfall. I was here.

The highest rates of cancer in the US is in New Orleans.  This is because its a major urban center sitting by the Mississippi river delta.  So all of the industrial and agricultural runoff and waste from the entire Mississippi river system covering a slew of states gets funneled right thru there.  The city is awash in concentrated chemicals.  The lowest rates of cancer in the US are found in the deserts including Los Angeles, as lack of water means lack of ability for those chemicals to get on people.

Landfall

 

Hurricane Katrina was the largest and 3rd strongest hurricane ever recorded to make landfall in the US. In New Orleans, the levees were designed for Category 3, but Katrina peaked at a Category 5 hurricane, with winds up to 175 mph.

I was talking about landfall. That's all that matters, and this storm is predicted to be a 4 at landfall, and Katrina was a 3 at landfall.

That statement technically is correct, but it did not make landfall at that status. It lost power before it made landfall. 

It was a 3 at landfall. There have been myriad 4s and 5s that have made landfall.

 Sold my company and gave it up. Tried working for FEMA, but f them. 30 years experience and they wanted me in the field. Wanted a supervisor job but they are only hiring ethnic graduates that have zero idea of what they are doing. So I retired. To old to crawl under houses and climb ladders after all the years of doing it. Fawk Every Man Alive!
