Yeah it doesnt seem bothered by land
I think it has something to do with the marshes. I do think as it goes further inland, the weakening will increase.
For all practical purposes, it still hasn't lost its warm moist energy source with most of the center either still over water, storm surge covered areas (essentially water), or swamps/marshes. Once we go another couple of hours, the weakening should start to accelerate.

I wouldn't exactly call that part of Louisiana "Land".

I am always mesmerized by any hurricanes that keep their $h!t together post landfall. It is awesome, but in the biblical sense of the word, as in absolutely horrifying. Michael and Harvey come to mind
3 PM CDT N.O. stations show a continued increase in winds and rapid drop in pressure along with a continued very strong gradient reflected by the 0.10" difference between the airport and lakefront:

Those mid/late summer northern gulf waters never seem to disappoint. Structure looks good.
That sound though
I must say, great job with the models (last 72 hours) or so with the landfall point.
Wow
Sheesh this is loud.
Reed's feed...he's gonna go all EF5 crazy I feel. Buildings now starting to take a toll..from Ida

Recon still finding pressure around 931... Insanity
I can't tell if the wind is really that strong or if Cantore is doing an acting job
