Talking about the eye path of Ida, this video shows that it remained clear until at least I-12 and probably was noticeable on land well beyond.


The one thing I remember about Ida is that little shift to the east once on land, and it definitely had an impact on the NorthShore. What we experienced was nothing compared to those of yall down south, but I wasn’t expecting that little shift to the east.

Hunkering down off of Sherwood Forest. When will it be safe to come out?


Storm - yes. Gunfire - no.

Houma was close to being hell on Earth during Ida. It spent 5+ hours in the inner eyewall and never got a break by getting in the eye thanks to the stall and gradual turn the storm took. Ida printed mesovortices, it was truly remarkable in that respect. Because of that, much of the damage in and around Houma looked more like tornado damage — because it essentially was.

I don't blame anyone who rode out Ida in or near Houma for having some type of PTSD or the like. That was some of the worst Nature has to offer.

Damn right. The fact that farce was allowed to stand is one of the great injustices of our time.

My wife was pregnant for Ida, we scheduled a bunch of doctors appointments just so we can hang out in the AC for a bit. They were building the women's center and BSG smuggled me like 10 cases of white cans while they had thay stupid alcohol ban after I went through my liquor stash

Should've gotten her pregnant a few months earlier for the unlimited titty milk supply post storm.

Nice tropical downpour here in Millerville /I-12 area in EBR from outer rain bands of Bertha. Close to 30mph gust as sheets of rain across rooftops gave it the tropical vibe, A couple cracks of Thunder too...

Sun is back out already!!

So Bertha's forecast will weaken to 50mph by the time it makes landfall near St.Bernard?

Panama City had a 59mph wind gust!

You should already have this before hurricane season even starts.

Not enough liquor to ride through a hurricane and the aftermath.

Rookie mistake.

Yeah that’s true but I meant everything. I’m sure state jobs will get off even if it’s not bad. And banks are always closed

That’s pretty much what Hurricane Katrina did in Washington and St.Tammany parishes. I don’t know if was tornadoes or just straight line winds, but doing storm work with WST for a couple months after, I definitely remember seeing straight lines of damage with everything else being fine not that far away.
