Yep, headed right for Grand Isle and just west of NO, worst possible scenario I would think for them.
Kind of interesting reading the Megathread on Reddit (r/NewOrelans).
Apparently, those who opted to wait until just a little while ago to evacuate are having a much easier time getting out, than those folks who crammed the interstates yesterday.

Shoot we might start talking about the strongest hurricane wind wind speed wise to strike the mainland at this pace.
YA, I think Grand Isle is going to get direct hit it appears.

It will probably make top 5 even top 3 ( for wind speed ) Who knows.
CDO starting to cool again in the north and NW quad. Sickening and I don’t feel this way much.

Reports from Air Force Reserve and NOAA hurricane hunter aircraft
indicate that the maximum sustained winds are near 150 mph (240
km/h) with higher gusts. Ida is an extremely dangerous category 4
hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some
additional strengthening is forecast

I'm sorry. I was thinking if Ida went to east of New Orleans then they would miss the worse.
Looks like there’s a gravity wave on the western side, wow

Ida before sunrise
Running out of time to get to Cat 5, but what a beast. Eyewall on radar is nearly perfect.

I was expecting some kind of RI but not to near a cat 5. Seeing there's no ERC imminent or even near, the eye smoothing further and possibly shrinking, high winds just off the surface, and little stopping it, I see little stopping her to be 155 or 160 at landfall. Truly a scary situation for those who stayed behind.

Any live cams someone could post please, Thank you
HOLY ---- I’ve never seen deepening like this before I mean good god … this thing went absolutely beast mode overnight .. everyone was saying it won’t be as bad as Katrina cause it won’t have CAT 5 surge so much for that

In terms of winds probably but I doubt there will be as many deaths as in Katrina.
