Time to talk about IDA vs NEW ORLEANS. Shift happens.

Ida continues to trend East immediately after last update.
New Orleans now projected in NE quadrant of strong Category 3/low Category 4 storm, or in direct path.
All eyes on protection system built after Katrina.
This will be The Test.
If it fails, Katrina will seem like nothing.

Nah. That levee system is way better than it was before. They spent like forty gazillion dollars and engineers on it.

Looters are licking their chops.

The Federal dollar bills. She may even turn the pumps off on purpose.

Isn’t the swirl/winds going the wrong way to really test New Orleans levee system? Seems like Katrina was a worse location whereby it dumped waves into the existing levees continuously.

Hardly. In fact, out of a 1-10 ranking of worst possible scenarios, this is a solid 8, maybe 9. A statistically one-time occurrence in a span of 200-400 years.

The eyewall might get there if it continues to track East but the winds are projected to be strong 2/low 3 at worst by the time it gets to Nola not a 4.

Please stop. The failure at Katrina had absolutely nothing to do with the size or winds of the storm itself

The 10-15 feet of water pushing in from the east, then the south, right up the Miss River will be from Category 3/4 winds, hoss.

Surge is the issue, wind is only relevant along eyewall. Step off your soapbox now.

New Orleans floods when there is a minor thunderstorm. The extremely expensive levee network will help with the surge but it won’t do shite to prevent flooding from 20 inches of rain.
