Tropical Hurricane Ida

120 at landfall. It isn’t exactly blowing up to fast although that could change

I’ll go with 135mph at landfall. My fear is that since it hasn’t started RI yet, it’s going to start and still be strengthening as it makes landfall. This doesn’t make much of a difference on storm surge, but a storm that is still deepening and landfall takes a lot longer to weaken overland than a storm that is already weakening over water. If RI had started by now, I would think there would be a better chance of an EWRC as it nears the coastline.

Yeah, RI just before landfall limiting opportunities for weakening. Might just be what we see.
