Tropical Hurricane Ida

The only saving grace may be time with the Sunday landfall but still a lot can happen in 2 days. We've seen it before. Look at Grace last week... There have been others

If it travels over the loop current that's also a concern... That's how Katrina bombed. It was made famous back then

This may be a banter-ish post but I feel like there might not be enough time for it to intensify that much. The NHC has the storm making landfall by Sunday afternoon and unless RI happens, it might not have time to become much stronger than a Cat 1 or maybe a Cat 2.

It has too much time two or three days is too much time with a environment it has

Speaking of Katrina... It had 2 days and look what it did. Came off Florida a 50 mph TS and was 175 mph 36 hours later Friday to Sunday morning

Not saying well get a 5 here but i think a major is entirely realistic. The fast motion could prevent it from being a 5 otherwise but we'll see

Like I was saying in the previous post. Two or three days is pretty much overkill in the gulf. Especially the last 2 years

Yeah and honestly if there's a big surge or flooding the wind speed and category may end up just being more of a footnote

Michael is another one... 75 mph to 160 mph in 48 hours

The Gulf Is bath water considering there no wind sheer. There nothing stopping this from at least reaching cat 3. I could be wrong but I think this hits as a cat 3 115-120mph
