Tropical Hurricane Ida

Others saying it too. Slightly weaker storm but more damage due to growing wind size field. This was 50mins ago.
 
Regardless of the dry slot on the left side. That eastern eye wall is absolutely devastating! I feel bad for the people who stayed that gets under that eastern eye wall. Even if winds where to come down slightly before landfall I bet they still be 150mph gusts!

Yeah unfortunately all the people are on the right side.

Let's please try not to criticize each other and murk up the thread. If somebody wants to predict something that seems silly like the storm is going to turn into an anticyclone with wispy high clouds, just give them a hotdog and move on.

How about a double stuffed burrito stuffed with Carolina Reaper.
 
This reminds me alot of Hugo. It intensified from cat2 to cat4 in 30 hours and at landfall was 140 mph. The surge on the right side of the storm was devastating.
 
Landfall is close

From Greg Fishel

THIS IS BAD

This morning the pressure in the center of IDA dropped to 929 mb, putting it in the category of Hugo. Maximum sustained winds within the circulation are 150 mph, which is almost to Category 5. In the last hour the pressure has risen to 933mb. That doesn’t mean the storm is weaker, but that the rapid intensification has finally stopped. One of the possible reasons for this is what’s called an eyewall replacement cycle, where an eye with a larger diameter replaces the original eye with a smaller diameter. As air spirals into the eyewall of a hurricane, it accelerates. So the smaller the eye, the more time it has to do that. A larger eye cuts off that acceleration at a larger radius from the center. So the good news is that IDA has stopped strengthening. The bad news is that it’s already a strong Cat 4 hurricane. The eyewall is almost at the Louisiana coast. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people in the path of IDA.

It bottomed out at 929. NAM was close at 922.

NHC holding at 150 mph at landfall.

1. It sure has gotten hot at Southwest Pass :D (107, an obvious error caused I assume by a malfunction due to the extreme effects of Ida).

2. More seriously, note the 939.1 mb at LA Offshore Oil! This is a drop of 31 mb from the 970.1 in just one hour!
