Martin Folse talking to the guy that manages the flood retention wall in Golden Meadow. The water is above the wall, which is around 11-12' high. Unreal.
He just said "Grand Isle is getting trained on"

Probably 14’ above sea level yes

14 feet above sea level. 7 feet off the ground, which is 6-7 feet above sea level at that spot. It's on top of Grand Isle's mountain.

Yeah the guy he was talking to was shocked. He thought it was only 6' but confirmed that the gate height is 11-12' and it's over the top of it. So no idea how high it actually is above that 11-12' gate.

Carrollton, Hollygrove, and the Lower Garden district all have pretty extensive power outages in NOLA. Uptown hanging strong.

Yup on plum and Carrollton and we lost it about 30 minutes ago. Which is weird we’re usually the last to lose power, if at all, on our block. The whole area will lose power and somehow we won’t. Guess the law of averages has ruled

Observation site just NW of Grand Isle reported sustained winds of 116 mph. You just don't see actual observations of major hurricane force winds very often. #IdaWx #lawx LINK
I can't imagine what GI will look like in the morning

One of the reported 40 people who stayed on Grand Isle has called 911. A real genius.

TWC coverage seems pretty light. Seems like the used to have like 20 correspondents all over the place when covering these storms in the past.

Why is all radar data except for Reflectivity and Velocity out of KLIX old data?
Posted on 8/29/21 at 12:52 pm to redstick13
Why are there just random cars parked in the middle of the street in NO? I assume some of those are for the weather channel people, but still a bunch out there that will likely get flooded.
