ATL: IDA - Remnants - Discussion

I'm impressed that the Texaco and power lines on the Golden Meadow feed are holding up so well.

[StormPyrate]

If that Golden Meadow camera survives I expect the surge to start coming in after the eyewall passes. Brutal at the moment.

From the left?

There's a lot of expensive oil infrastructure in this area, so the hope is it has been hardened and built to Cat 5 standards because of how expensive it would be to rebuild similar to nuclear power plants. Hopefully, the damage won't be as bad as feared.

Morgerman is in Houma as well

I thought they said they were bugging out from there? Not safe?

This morning. ONE of the chasers did.

No, he's there

Just heard on the news that the Mars Deepwater Platform may have broken loose in the Gulf…

they were reporting that on Local Nola news.
Have not been able to confirm it yet

100% not true!!!

Backside of the eyewall is coming into Port Fouchon. Doesn’t look like it’s losing any strength yet. Still looks to be 140-150.

Hurricanetrack camera locations (there's more than this).

Sewage pumps are out in New Orleans and other parishes. The news anchor said “If it’s yellow let it mellow and brown flush it down.” They’re telling people not to use much water to avoid system backups into houses.

I believe he as at least 9. It is so awesome he his partnering with s2k now.

Severe storms studios chaser said their anemometer registered 200mph gusts with 156mph sustained!!

Really???? Just curious if the dude's arm was still attached to his hand-held anemometer when that reading took place. That or.... what oil rig did he get flown out too and at what elevation was it? Seems like a questionable reading.

I can’t verify credibility here… but don’t most chasers have those mounted to the exterior of vehicles? I didn’t realize an anemometer could only be handheld. He was sitting in his chase vehicle next to a “parking structure” when he got the readings

[Gums]

Salute!

I thot there was a blow out valve beneath the actual sea floor that shuts the oil down...the one that failed 11 years ago on the Horizon rig, dat right?

Gums sends

P.S. my home is 200 miles east of the eye and have had 20 - 25 mph most of morning

[rwfromkansas]

Might the hurricanetrack balloon miss the eye? Storm looks to be veering slightly west.

[tolakram]

Still acting like it's over water (because it is)

Not true on the Mars thing. But there are multiple wellheads on Mars. Not just one.

I hope it makes it. The info he could get with that would be awesome.

Conditions visibly worse in Golden Meadow...

Worst of eyewall not there yet...

Grand Isle is really getting pounded by the backside secondary wall.
