Eye, 47% RH @ 700mb.
Still dry, could get an EWRC before landfall.

I think its probably literally going to be peaking into landfall. Probably too late now for a EWRC to make a noticeable difference sadly.

I fear that oil platform that was entering the western eyewall is down for the count now... the site at the delta (Southwest Pass) currently reporting 105G121... outside of the eyewall

This is the stuff thats stressing me out in california. When katrina hit gas was 2.50 a gallon, the morning after she hit, it was 5.00+ a gallon for a short time. Cheapest gas for me is 4.09, im scared to see what happens in 24 hrs to the prices

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.

I remember the floating suburban streaming video in Mexico Beach during Michael. We all thought those chasers were dead. Internet videos are NOT worth risking your life for.

I keep wondering where Josh Morgerman will ride it out.

He posted on Twitter about 7 hours ago that he was in New Orleans, but undecided if he'd stay there. WeatherNation has been interviewing him and as of about an hour ago, or less, he was still in New Orleans. You can find WeatherNation on Pluto.

That station is actually reporting 992.2 mb, not 922 mb.

count yourself lucky if the cost of your gas gets a little high for a while.
For weeks after Katrina Gas..... Ice..... Water ...... food were very hard to even find while people searched for loved ones

A good read

“It is forecast to track over the industrial corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, which is one of the key infrastructure regions of the U.S., critical to the economy, there’s hundreds of major industry sites there I mean petrochemical sites, three of the 15 largest ports in America, a nuclear power plant,” Masters said. “You’re probably going to shut down the Mississippi River for barge traffic for multiple weeks. “

Gas prices? I fear a super spreader event with CV19. LA is one of the states that has been in big trouble with positive cases. The poor folks in the hospitals, it will become a priority to be able to get oxygen into them as most hospitals only keep about 2 days supply on hand. Then there is all those possible cases that evacuated into neighboring states. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next two weeks. There are so many ripple effects this storm is going to create.

Prayers to all there and who had to evacuate.
