ATL: IDA - Remnants - Discussion

Yup, sobering to watch this unfold.

The first recorded Cat 5 CONUS landfall was in 1935. 34 years later, Camille hit. 23 years later, Andrew. 26 years later, Michael hit. And merely 3 years later, we are looking at another very real chance of a CONUS Cat 5 landfall. This is beyond mind-blowing.

This is going to make landfall just in time for some spectacular stadium-effect GOES visuals at sunrise CDT. Of course, none of this detracts from the gravity of Ida.

I'm not sure we have enough crow to serve yesterdays experts.

I deserve some crow right now.

I'm not sure we have enough crow to serve yesterdays experts.

They do get the option to take it plain or with Tabasco, the few times I have had to eat crow I take it with Tabasco.

Folks, you can watch local coverage easily on the net and tv apps...wwl, fox8, wdsu. If you haven't been in a hurricane before, watching local tv coverage gives you a good idea of what really happens vs. national coverage.

You owned and that's ok, we have all been there on the crow front.

I certainly do too. At least it’ll be a protein-rich breakfast.

This might be the biggest drop in subsequent passes I've ever seen.

The 952 is incorrect.
The dropsonde had 936 at that pass

inflow is outstanding with no signs of destruction or dry air, chances are over 50% for cat 5.

Translation: The sun's rays are already beginning to illuminate the storm towers and cloud tops of Hurricane Major #Ida at dawn on August 29, 2021. The threat of a Category 4 hurricane off the coast of #Luisiana on the 16th anniversary of #Katrina's impact. #USA

New Orleans is about to get something it has never received in modern times they Thought K hit there with barely 75mph winds for the most part this will be the real thing.Hunker down stay dry have tools mainly a hatchet for the roof should the water rise that far.

Here in Biloxi light breeze drizzle half of the beach @6PM last evening was already inundated I guess 3/4' rise.

I agree Katrina was about the levy’s breaking down this puppy is a totally different Animal. Scares me to think this is a Andrew just a little wetter. Different ball game folks.

[Teban54]

Looks like the eye continues to warm on IR. There's absolutely no sign that Ida will stop intensifying.

[Nimbus]

There were two 137+ knot wind barbs in the Northeast quadrant last pass by recon.
If the center made landfall at Grand Isle now one of those barbs would be over New Orleans-Gretna.
Someone needs to push the self destruct button and start an EWRC.

I was calling this Georges 1998 last night. Just woke up to this. I’ll need a whole ‘murder of crows.

[Woofde]

I'm chasing Ida in parking garage in Western New Orleans right now. Winds are starting to pick as a few of the bands roll through.

No one here thought this was going to get as intense as it is. If the eyewall does make it into New Orleans it will be bad.

[RL3AO]

New Orleans proper will still probably miss the eastern eyewall, but their margin of error is getting down to few tens of miles.
