Tropical Hurricane Ida

Here’s my two cents, since “gulf locals” do not and should not use this site for evacs or the latest info just leave it all here. I also think tropical should combine to general weather not separate. We know most here are locals to inland weather and creating multiple separate things honestly hurts the reading material for the majority.

You are correct people shouldn't use this site to make evacuation decisions that should be left to the proper authorities. That said people do come here to gather information just as they search the internet and social media.

Fact is 90% of information they find here will be better than social media.... anyway I'm all for separate threads. Also, call me a meananger if you like folks, but as this gets close and the dangerous threat becomes real, we may actually moderate this thread a little more.

Absolute ****. Went down to New Orleans last year and saw the new pump stations. They have to have power to run. Downtown water creeps up from the sidewalk daily and has to be worked on. New neighborhood construction is often a waste of money and left alone once it starts sinking. It’s truly a giant fish bowl.

A good long stretch of chance of naders as well.

Still sitting at QUOTE]I think a new thread is being made for inland threats. I haven't really looked at inland threats but the position of the low is around the Memphis area on about Sunday/ Monday so that and the height falls favor some strong storms

We know most here are locals to inland weather and creating multiple separate things honestly hurts the reading material for the majority. I think everyone should be welcome here but never cater to any one party since there is no official authority here. For most it’s learning and a hobby. Separating things could cause some to falsely believe they can get all the latest info on life decisions specific to their backyard or parish.

I base 100% of my decisions from your guidance. I feel lost when your are banned.

Again we are not an official government website nor are we affiliated as such and evacuation decisions should not be based on this website. Please stop pushing that or any associated narrative in edited posts. What our role is is simply to give people a place to discuss and share information.

Thank you

I wonder if the people of New Orleans get tired of people comparing every hurricane to Katrina like we do with Hugo. Folks let recon improve the track and model guidance first it’s too early. Always a greater chance this does not pull a Katrina. Could easily pull cat 4/5 and hit somewhere so rural you never hear about it again. Like what happened to Mexico Beach Florida.

Then the likelihood of the levy’s surviving a major hurricane seem slim. Of course a lot depends on track
