Sooooooooo..........

We all good now?

At Canal & R. E. Lee.... Wind might be letting up some. Hoping that bitch keeps a Northward trend and does not turn eastward yet.................

Lights still on. Keep flickering.

Wind is beating the shite out of uptown. Heavier Rain still to come once the eye gets further north.

Wind has been relentless for a few hours now. Suppose to get the bad rain here in the 2-3 hours.

Hasn’t been fun.

I'm on Camp in the LGD. It's pretty windy. But the rain doesn't seem to be a real factor.

yes since ~5pm it's been rough

Watching radar imagery closely- it looks like Ida is shedding its old outer eyewall as a rain band, with the core consolidating a bit SW of NOLA.

Norco and adjacent towns on the west shore of Lake Pontchartrain look to take the worst of the inner core over the coming hours. LINK
