Indications continue to show that this hurricane will be a bad one and I think worthy of it's own thread.
Right now, Hurricane Ida will come ashore around Cocodrie on the delta south of Houma early Sunday afternoon as a cat 4, possibly near cat 5 with sustained winds of 140-150 mph with gusts probably to 155 mph. The hurricane will move over Morgan City, passing between Lafayette and Baton Rouge late Sunday night then curve to the north-northeast, passing over Norwood on the Louisiana/Mississippi border mid morning on Monday. Rainfall will be torrential and since the terrain is relatively flat, winds will be slow to wind down. There will be significant storm surge over Lake Borgne and Lake Pontchartrain so there will be flooding near the New Orleans area outside of the levees. Later Monday and Monday night torrential rainfall will be across Mississippi and Alabama as the storm weakens and begins to rain out.
