LIVE UPDATES: Officials in Montgomery and Chester Counties have advised those downstream of the Pickering Creek Dam to evacuate. The Schuylkill is expected to crest at a record of 17.2 feet in the wake of Ida's remnants sweeping across the Philly area. trib.al/NhpWFOe

Road closures and flooding in the region forced several school districts to cancel classes today. inquirer.com/weather/live/i…

This all comes in the aftermath of multiple tornadoes and torrential rain spawned by Ida's remnants late yesterday. Forecasters are warning the area could see its worst flooding in a decade today and tomorrow. inquirer.com/weather/live/i…

[Thread] Le cyclone #Ida a laissé de puissantes marques de destructions de l'écosystème de delta du Mississipi. Des zones humides entières ont disparu du paysage ou sont encore sous les eaux laissant craindre un lourd bilan sur la faune/flore.
#HurricaneIda #HurricaneIdadamage

Ces zones humides, bien que fragiles, ont une capacité de résilience (i.e. retour à l'état initial). Il faudra plusieurs années pour que l'écosystème (ici complètement rasé) retrouve un état d'équilibre.

Les espèces survivantes seront mise à rude épreuve ces prochaines mois.

Cet écosystème, déjà fragilisé par l'Homme, pourrait se voir complètement modifié si la fréquence/intensité de ces évènements extrêmes s'accélère.

Les conséquences seront même supracontinentales : c'est un important point d'étape pour la migration des oiseaux !

Preliminary reports suggest #HurricaneIda is the fifth-strongest storm ever to make landfall in the continental U.S. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/148767/…

“For me, the most compelling aspect of Ida was its rapid intensification up to landfall,” said Scott Braun, a scientist who specializes in hurricanes at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

More than 1 million customers in Louisiana had reportedly lost power by midday on August 30. Another 100,000 customers lost electricity in Mississippi and 12,000 in Alabama.

"#HurricaneIda Is a Manmade Disaster -

The same fossil fuel industry whose emissions helped intensify the storm also modified the Louisiana coastline to make it more vulnerable to flooding."

newrepublic.com/article/163470…

"Ida was the perfect storm of the climate change era—not just in terms of meteorology but also in terms of geography, history, and victimology."

"This storm brings the climate crisis full circle, unleashing the wrath of a world warmed by fossil fuels on the very state that is the site of some of the fossil fuel industry’s greatest crimes."

This is the crazy white guy who attacked and physically assaulted MSNBC correspondent Shaq Brewster live on the air in Gulfport, MS during hurricane coverage a short while ago.

🧵 #ida #HurricaneIda with power out safe #generator use is incredibly important! Some rules:

Never use a #generator, grill, camp stove or other gasoline, propane, natural gas or charcoal-burning devices inside a home, garage, basement, crawlspace or any partially enclosed area.

Keep these devices outdoors, away from doors, windows and vents that could allow #carbonmonoxide (CO) to come indoors.

Opening doors and windows or using fans will not prevent CO buildup in the home. Although CO can't be seen or smelled, it can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death.

For people worried about #HurricaneIda and family and friends there, much like having early judgments about the scope of an evacuation after a war is lost, it is hard to assess a storm in real time. It just is. 1/

Systems go out, but generators go on, systems reconnect. Bridges sway. Barges come unmoored. It is bad, but extent of bad can’t be assessed yet. The only thing that matters is human life. Many couldn’t evacuate. 2/

There were 50 levee failures in Katrina, some of them took a lot of time to identify. Do they hold this time? How many? And if they don’t, once winds pass, can more people be evacuated (Katrina deaths were mostly drownings after storm passed). 3/

Well this day is going great. My car battery died TODAY.

Nevertheless, now I'm at @LouisianaGov's press conference about Hurricane Ida.

.@LouisianaGov says there are significant storm surge impacts around Port Fourchon and in Plaquemines Parish. #lalege #lagov

.@LouisianaGov repeatedly says that no one should be out on the roads or out of their house during the storm and in the immediate aftermath of the storm. #lalege #lagov

In reading about post-disaster-reconstruction in Haiti, I did consult this book on New Orleans which also experiences same outsourcing + privatisation dynamics post a disaster event (like a hurricane). Sharing given #HurricaneIda — where same dynamics will come into play

Just overheard "eyeball replacement cycle" 🧐
The intensity has thankfully leveled off at 130-knots - top end Category 4.
#HurricaneIda continues a recent trend of Gulf of Mexico storms that do not weaken approaching landfall instead blowing up to max intensity.

The Gulf of Mexico is always warm enough to develop a major hurricane in August, with warm eddies spinning and looping providing extra ocean heat content. But a major recent difference is top-to-bottom extreme warmth of shallower shelf waters along TX and LA coasts.
30°C+

There's the Gulf of Mexico "loop current" strategically located along the track of Hurricane Ida.

Random chance that Ida crossed it? Or some chicken and the egg here?

I’m so worried for my friends and relatives of the United Houma Nation and other Chitamacha tribes in Louisiana. News outlets won’t say it but there are a lot of Native communities gonna get hit by #HurricaneIda.

#HurricaneIda will make landfall in the heart of the United Houma Nation. Native communities who have lived in the bayou for generations. Prayers and love to our folks who will carry the brunt of the storm head-on.

This region of the Mississippi River Delta is also one of the epicenters of the petro-chemical industry of the United States adding an even more frightening element to the impacts of this Hurricane. So much potential for tragic devastation.
