Level 4 hurricane going to crash into all of those overpopulated hospitals in Louisiana and surrounding areas.

Bad sign is that the water is so warm in the Gulf, it probably won't weaken as it nears landfall.

Some of the water in the gulf is over 90 degrees which will add significant power to that storm

We lucked out last week when the cold North Atlantic ground Henri way down.
I feel awful for Gulf Coast residents right now.

Does the sharpie image look suspiciously like a penis?   Maybe we should nuke the hurricane.

You never know what could happen but it appears Ida is extremely angry.   I know they reinforced the levies but this situation right now looks WAY worse than Katrina.  The experts are saying this could be the worst nat disaster in 150 yrs.  Awful, awful, situation.   I hope as many animals as possible got out of there along with people.

OK, yes. But what do you propose to do with those already built?

Quite an undertaking. You should run for office with this as one of your platforms.

If I was going to run, it'd be on much bigger economic issues - M4A, public housing, UBI, etc. You know, things that would materially improve the lives of all americans.

This.

It's a borderline Cat 5 - but, it is hitting in rural areas and is fast moving. There will be some deaths, but hardly catastrophic.

I don't like to speak for others, but I think Fluff was referring to the comment "The experts are saying this could be the worst nat disaster in 150 yrs."

There will be deaths and a lot of wind damage, but it will not come close to the damages causes by some other hurricanes.

It's too early to know.  If it breaks the levy it  could be catastrophic.

No joke here, with the intersection of Ida and COVID-19 ...

From the NYT:

As the Delta variant grips the country, children who are not yet eligible for vaccination are at higher risk of being infected — especially in places where the virus is surging. A New Orleans children’s hospital had so many Covid-19 patients that a federal “surge team” was called in to bolster an exhausted staff.

If the leave breaks, got no place to stay.
