So just shy of 10 hours total time as a Major hurricane after 1st initial landfall impressive

According to WWL TV in New Orleans things are getting bad
Rationing power from one turbine to keep the pumps going, hoping for street flooding to hold off.
Roof off at a Nursing home
Barges lose on the river
I do not call that dodging a bullet

It's just so sad because it didn't have to be this way...a place like a nursing home should have been evacuated based on what happened after Katrina.

We also have a pandemic going on. Governor Edwards said the following in his Thursday press conference. The first thing you usually do is have hospital and Nursing
home patients moved to safer areas. Covid will not allow us to do this.

Saw report of a wheelchair-bound woman stuck in her home in NOLA which is flooding, needing rescue. I'm glad I looked at the replies, because there's info about how to contact the Cajun Navy who are doing rescues. Share this with anyone who might need it.

Pretty tense stuff listening to the Jefferson Parish FD live feed. (demanding more boats, turning down rescues, abandoning rescues cause the water is rising too fast, unable to respond to many calls)

ALL **EIGHT** Entergy transmission lines into New Orleans have been lost. Apparently, towers have fell into the rivers. It's going to be awhile before N.O. gets any power back.

More confirmation that the Cajun Navy has started rescues, notably in La Place

Numerous people begging for help on Twitter in Laplace. Seems the entire city is flooded with people trapped in attics.

This seems to be trending on twitter right now that a levee has failed. Is this confirmed or is social media just not handling overtopping vs levee failure . There is a massive difference between the two.

Not the kind of updates one likes to read....

TWC is reporting "catastrophic flooding" in St. Johns Parish and Placquemines parish... but didn't give a lot of detail or sources.

Hurricane Ida Discussion Number 16
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092021
1000 PM CDT Sun Aug 29 2021

Although Ida has been inland over southeastern Louisiana for several
hours, it is still a very well organized hurricane. Doppler radar
images indicate that the hurricane continues to have a well-defined
eye, though the eyewall has become a bit ragged on the southwest
side. Beyond the inner core, rain bands remain well established,
especially on the system's east side. Earlier this evening, there
were reports of extreme wind gusts over 120 kt along the coast of
southeastern Louisiana. Based on Doppler radar velocity data over
the past hour or two, the initial intensity is estimated to be 90
kt.

As Ida continues inland, rapid weakening is expected due to a
combination of land interaction and an increase in wind shear.
However, damaging winds, especially in gusts, are expected to spread
further inland over southeastern Louisiana and southwestern
Mississippi through Monday morning. To account for this, the gust
factor in the Forecast/Advisory has been adjusted accordingly. Ida
is likely to weaken to a tropical storm by Monday morning and a
tropical depression by Monday night. Some slight restrengthening as
an extratropical storm is possible when Ida moves over the western
Atlantic in 4 days or so. In addition, heavy rains will spread
northward and then northeastward along the forecast track.

Ida is expected to turn northward by early Monday as it moves in the
flow on the western side of a subtropical ridge. A faster motion to
the northeast is expected by Tuesday as a mid- to upper-level trough
approaches the system, with that motion continuing through much of
the remainder of the week. The NHC track forecast is a little to
the south or right of the previous one to come into better agreement
with the latest models.

Key Messages:

1. Life-threatening storm surge inundation will continue through
tonight along portions of the coast between Burns Point, Louisiana,
to Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Overtopping of local levees outside
of the Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System is possible
where local inundation values may be higher.

2. Wind damage will occur near the core of Ida as it continues
inland over southeastern Louisiana during the next few hours.
Damaging winds, especially in gusts, will spread inland near the
track of Ida's center into southwestern Mississippi through early
Monday. These winds will likely lead to widespread tree damage and
power outages.

3. Ida will continue to produce heavy rainfall tonight through
Monday across southeast Louisiana, coastal Mississippi, and
southwestern Alabama, resulting in considerable to life-threatening
flash and urban flooding and significant riverine flooding impacts.
As Ida moves farther inland, considerable flooding impacts are
possible across portions of the Lower Mississippi Valley, Tennessee
Valley, Upper Ohio Valley, Central Appalachians, and Mid-Atlantic
through Wednesday.

Thanks a lot for all the updates KBBOCA. Very scary seeing the situation unfold over there.

[TallyTracker]

What’s remarkable is that Ida has just weakened back down to the intensity the hurricane was at 24 hours ago… Half of that time was post-landfall.

[ElectricStorm]

What's the situation with the levees? Has there been any actual confirmation that a few of them have failed yet? I'm seeing conflicting reports everywhere.
