I could be wrong but I believe it was mentioned that the storm would not strengthen much yesterday. The intensification would happen today.

This storm can’t seem to close it’s circulation of high clouds dealing it weak to strengthen much.

For the most part yes- but it was generally predicted to start strengthening last night and it clearly has not. They still admit they have a long way to go when it comes to accurately predicting intensification. But i do think all can agree that the longer it takes to begin intensifying the less it will have time to and likely the less it will make it beyond cat 1.

What’s scarier than this pathetic system is the fear mongering. All the Walmarts are completely empty of all brands of water. Thats not the most surprising thing as people want to be prepared for a couple weeks. Why hasn’t parish presidents recognized this and prepared better to have extra necessities available before and after storms?!

Because they get crap for telling people to be prepared early and the storm doesn't hit at all. Egg on the face.

Morning folks! The hurricane expertise and insight in here is amazing. Let’s keep it up and most importantly prepare whether it goes east or west of that dam center line!

Man dry air looks like it ripped this thing in half. I’m guessing the NHC isn’t too confident in model runs bc of the overall disorganization of the storm otherwise cone would be shifted more east

I remember going to bed a 1 and waking up to a monster but to be fair he experts kept saying it would happen. They aren’t saying that as much here it seems

Ida was a rapidly intensifying storm and was strengthening at landfall. As far as I can tell this storm is significantly different and weaker.

Have extra water at the very least during the most busiest month of the hurricane season! People scream possible cat 2 storm and the shelves are empty by the time the working class citizens are off of work. It’s bullshite!

I read this thinking it's gonna hit as a weak TS and I can only get so erect.
Then I notice it's not RDS posting so I'm preparing for a 3

Unfortunately this is now a SE LA storm. Buckle up baws. Ugh! These are the frustrating storms....likely not a ton of damage, but just enough to cost me $10,000 worth of house damage. Just enough out of pocket damage to not file a claim.

Private consumers are wiping the shelves clean at Walmart. Could you imagine what it would look like if the parish government was handing out cases of bottled water before a storm that nobody knows when, where and how strong it will be? And how do you know “necessities” won’t be handed out after the storm?
