[tropicwatch]

Eye continuing to look better and better on radar.

High tide is at 1pm... so the tide will be coming in throughout landfall and peaking at about landfall.

What's even more interesting about Ida is the amount of jaw-dropping footage of its landfall that will be generated by storm chasers due to its daytime landfall.

There will be lots of wind videos, but I'm curious if anyone manages to get into the eye before it falls apart. The eye is expected to basically go directly over the swampland to the west of New Orleans. It's almost impossible to chase in there because of the surge and flooding risks. Someone would have to be very risky to do it.

Some New chasers who want to get popular will do anything.

The eye will not degrade that fast over swampland. I am sure there is some crazy chaser in Grand Isle anyways.

At this point, I am very concerned to say the least that thanks to the predicted landfall area being mainly bayous and wetlands, Ida may not weaken as fast and could even (in a worst case scenario) intensify even further despite technically being over "land."

Watching local coverage WWL local met there is saying metro New Orleans 100-120 mph winds
That is not good if it confirms.

I keep wondering where Josh Morgerman will ride it out.

I worry about that same scenario as well.

You can literally see the eye tightening up on that image there as per the recon plane obs.

This video shows all the mesos so far out from the eye. Explains why the tornado watches go all the way to FL
