Hurricane Camille. everyone should take this serious since we all know the story of what happened to Virginia well inland from landfall.
 
This definitely has category 5 and sub 940 mb written all over it. If these models and the NHC are already showing what they're showing that is bad news. I've said it once and I will say it again, these things are always over performing once they hit the gulf. Especially when they're approaching land, they're almost at their peak and best looking the last few years. And if that ridge is even remotely further east than modeled, you can bet Everywhere from NO to the panhandle of Florida will be the strike zone.

And we have seen canes take off in a hurry the last few years.
 
Just Driving home the point about New Orleans and the dangers of living there. Below is a Fema Flood Map of Wilmington Nc. The Zones AE in blue are areas you can expect to Flood in a 100 year event(which happen more frequently than 100 years)

Sure there would probably be more flooding but these are the areas of regulated construction.
Below is New Orleans

Sure many of these buildings are "Grandfathered" in but people just don't realize where they are living sometimes along the coast. This is what is expected to flood in a moderate event, This does not even take into account levee failures or more severe anomalous events.
 
Our heat dome hasn't budge and I don't believe it will. This has Cajun Louisiana written all over it.

Maybe a ULL trying to pop up over central Mexico?

Showing this because the wind pattern hasn’t changed much since our last few storms this season. IMO I think IDA will end up east of New Orleans. Don’t know how far yet but maybe Mississippi or Alabama. It’s a stale wind pattern and these storms are traveling in the same general area then largely swinging hard right or up the east coast. 9D6E476E-2F02-47D1-B76F-CEAD62DA94BB.jpeg

There are some differences -
 
Looking at the visible satellite it looks like there may be a well defined LLC based on low cloud movement but the convection is likely biased N and E

Would be problematic for there to be major relocations further north into the deep convection. Could save NOLA but threaten areas without much warrnng of a track shift........just spit balling ideas really. I'm not saying thats gonna happen but something to contemplate
 
Some differences yes but Crazy we went from deep Texas to how Far East now I think it will keep correcting east given how much has evolved in 1-2 days I don’t think it’s done

I see what you’re saying with the changes that we’ve seen the last couple days. The thing is the ridge just looks too stout with this timing to give a landfall east of NOLA. I do agree with you that the inland effects could continue to trend east… models are really wanting to weaken the ridge after Sunday and move it east in response to the block up north getting stronger and the trough coming into the NE beginning to pull the storm further east… that overall set up would favor a sharp turn to the northeast and east once inland

If we can get that ridge to break down fast enough, I could see a Sally (2020) type setup. Maybe not a sharp of a turn, but without a stout ridge, we all know how fast storms love to recurve to the NE.

True and even where the track looks to be right now, I could see there end up being a lot more rainfall coverage further east than what’s modeled right now. A very moist flow with deep tropical moisture out ahead of the storm circulation and on the western edge of the subtropical ridge
 
There’s no way this goes N or NW and doesn’t hit the tip of Cuba. Maybe that can be a little hiccup to keep this from becoming a monster! A few days ago, it was looking possible to shoot the gap. I think that’s off the table
