ATL: IDA - Remnants - Discussion

[NDG]

Good close up video from a helicopter of Grand Isle, some homes unscathed while others almost completely gone. You can tell that the newer ones were built with better hurricane codes which I heard city officials pushed on on new constructions.

Would actually like to see the difference at a month, to see the actual difference.

Anyone heard from LSU2001, I know he was in Cut Off, hope everything is ok. Steve, have you made it back to your property to check on it?

Ida still developing deep convection and even had an eye like feature earlier this morning. Incredible. Lack of a surface low finished it off.

You are not going to see a difference between August 25th and a month prior. On August 25th Ida was just a TD in the Caribbean.
If you want to see a difference look at a satellite picture of the same area from 20-40 years ago.
Sadly the Louisiana coast is a disappearing coast, little by little the only land that has not been disappearing into the gulf are the areas that are protected by Levees.
Before Leveeing the MS River, all this land was replenished by the MS River from its annual overflowing which kept it rebuilding depositing more soil. Once the river was leveed there was no more way to keep rebuilding this land. The oil industry didn't helped the situation when they started dredging canals through the marshland decades ago, that accelerated it even more.

I was thinking that same thing. On sunday morning he was talking about his dog waking him up barking at the wind. He mentioned Cutoff and I looked at where that was and if he stayed there he definitely got hit HARD! I hope he's ok too. I asked him if he was actually in Cutoff at the time of the storm and didn't see a reply.

Back in 2005 there was a website posted soon after Katrina with an aerial photo survey of the New Orleans area along with some other points. We used it where I was to help some NO folk figure out if their house was damaged/flooded. Is anything like that being made now? It was a government site but I haven't seen such a thing this time and don't have enough juice to conduct exhaustive searches (my phone is currently solar-powered, after all).

Good riddance, Ida. You're heading to one place only: the . Won't be seeing you in 2027!

Yes, the aerial damage viewer:

More coverage will be added in the coming days.

I was talking the difference in a month to see how much comes back after the water goes down.

Ida's story isn't finished yet sadly. Gonna be dumping possibly a foot of rain in some places and a tornado threat to boot

My daughter works in the ER at a local hospital here in Pensacola. Both other large hospitals in the area on on diversion ( which means they can no longer accept patients) They are awaiting 25 patients from Louisiana...being brought in by military helicopter. I have no idea what happened with all the hospitals, I know a few got damaged...but damaged enough they have to send 25 patients all the way to Florida?

Most hospitals in Louisiana are full already, and those that weren't are now with all the hospitals in the New Orleans area having to evacuate all patients since they will be without electricity for most likely weeks.
