the more important thing to take from that is that ida is about the same size, however nowhere near as strong as Katrina is in that picture… for now

its not even near the same size and isn't (and wont) be anywhere near as strong. by this point Katrina was already cat 5

It's funny how people always retroactively downplay hurricanes. Everyone talks about Laura like it was a big nothing burger even though it killed 30 people in LA and caused like 20 billion dollars worth of damage despite massive statewide preparations. Ida is going to hit areas that are still wrecked from it a year later.

But it's fine nobody should do anything or worry

Katrina made landfall as a category 3 with wind speeds about on par with current predictions for Ida.

it weakened as its outer bands hit land. same thing will happen. a cat 5 going to a cat 3, this one will be a cat 2 at best. you seem to not understand that measuring the eye wall speed at landfall isn't the same thing as what people experience as it comes ashore

I'm always wrong but all these fuckers hoarding bc of Katrina PTSD is infuriating (I've been through every major 'cane in central/south Mississippi for 40 years).

it's not even moving fast like Camille did, just cutting islands in half

they should be hoarding for COVID anyway.

I'd definitely go north since the things stop being hurricanes by that point.

I haven't seen much about the expected storm surge. What're the estimates? Usually the news coverage loves talking about that and for one hitting a city below sea level, seems pertinent.

Within the levee system it's not supposed to be an issue. Outside of that you could see 10+ft

I'm prob a bit late on this one, but I'm willing to host evacuating goons. I've got space, and both housemate and I just got over the rona (*we shouldn't be able to spread it to you/yours, and I'm not worried about yall). I'm located in Memphis.

PM me if that'd be helpful for you.

Stay safe, goons.
