Katrina weakened to a Cat 3 by landfall, right? Ida powering up as it barrels down on the coastline seems... not ideal.

It's ok we learned from the last one and didn't just rebuild everything the same way in the same spot. What's this I hear? We learn nothing ever? Hmmm seems bad.

Good morning!

Category 4 prediction remains technically correct only. That's incredible.

This is concerning.

Also to the people saying that there wasn't enough time to plan, the models were pretty in agreement before it went over Cuba that it was headed to Louisiana. That's a few days of heads up.

My youngest brother and his wife live in New Orleans and never evacuate for this poo poo but they had a big wedding in January in the middle of Covid Hell Original Flavor so basically they make really lovely life decisions regularly

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Katrina had baked most of its damage by that point because of it's size and the amount of water it pushed ahead of it. I think some places saw a 28ft surge with Katrina Vs max at the moment for Ida is predicted to be 16 ft which is still devastating.

its also a good example of why people are the way they are now - idiots like that spout of nonsense and people repeat it all over the internet, and people listen.

the internet made the village idiot have the loudest voice in the world

Just wait in 24 hours or so there will be people, who live hundreds of miles away from the storms path, posting pictures of over turned patio furniture with #wewillrebuild

People will be calling it a nothing burger based on that ignoring that anybody in the path of the storm don't have power or cell reception.
