Tropical Hurricane Ida

The latest wobble due north is bad news for the New Orleans area, especially for Kenner and even Metairie. Keeping in mind how bad it got in 1965 with Betsy (which was about 12 mb weaker at landfall and on a similar path) and with Ida still holding quite strong, this isn't going to be pretty for that area.

I know it’s been said, but I am just in awe of how well this thing still looks on radar and especially satellite. Obviously the terrain it’s been over isn’t conducive for fast weakening, but we have certainly seen storms in that area weaken much faster than this. Like with Michael, the key is that it had land at max strength which takes so much longer to wind down. It looks like it may still be category 2 when it reaches Baton Rouge

It never replaced the old eyewall from what I can tell off a long radar loop, it only weakened then reintensified and is now merging with the outer. Not sure if you can call it an ERC since the eyewall never was replaced.
