Well this day is going great. My car battery died TODAY.
Nevertheless, now I'm at @LouisianaGov's press conference about Hurricane Ida.

Here's a group of local Louisiana journalists who stayed in the state for Hurricane Ida to provide coverage on the ground during and after the storm. (I am also here in Baton Rouge for the storm.)

11PM update on #Ida is in from NHC.
Winds still steady at 105mph as the pressure falls to 964mb.
Satellite presentation continues to improve, but we'll have to wait until the next recon plane arrives in a few hours to see whether that's translating to stronger winds.

Winds haven't come up as much as anticipated today, due largely to some lingering chaos in the inner core after Cuba.
But the storm has picked up tons of energy, dropping its central pressure by >20mb and pushing hurricane force winds dozens of miles from the center.

All environmental and satellite indicators continue to point towards rapid intensification tonight.
That's what folks should expect and plan on.
Regardless of what max winds a few spots see in the eyewall, surge and rain will be catastrophic.

There is some confusion surrounding the impacts that will occur across our area. Here is a breakdown of all the impacts we are expecting from Hurricane #Ida below by area/region. #Ida is a dangerous hurricane and it WILL produce LIFE-THREATENING impacts. #mswx #lawx
For the Baton Rouge metro area: Expect winds >110mph sustained. Rainfall 10-15” with 20”+ possible. Brief tornadoes possible. #lawx
For the River Parishes: Expect winds >110mph sustained. Rainfall 10-15” with 20”+ possible. Brief tornadoes possible. 5-8 ft of inundation in Lake Pontchartrain. #lawx
.@LouisianaGov has started his afternoon update on Hurricane Ida. You can watch it live here: #lalege #lagov
"This is a very strong storm." - @LouisianaGov.
He says winds will be at 140 mph when Hurricane Ida makes landfall.
Almost the entire state is under some type of warning or watch. #lalege #lagov

Once again, @LouisianaGov is saying we could be seeing 110 mph winds in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, New Orleans and River parishes. #lalege #lagov
When Ida meets delta....I've put together a list of the ways Louisiana's delta surge complicates the current hurricane prep and response.

How hurricane response is different because of the #COVID19 delta surge:
➡️Evacuating hospitals is "impossible"
➡️State shelters have fewer beds
➡️Nursing homes can't send fragile patients to hospitals

Hospitals are full in and around Louisiana so there's nowhere to transfer patients if a hospital was damaged/lost water because of Hurricane Ida.

We continue to monitor Ida as it approaches, expected to make landfall Sunday afternoon/evening. A hurricane Warning is in effect for areas of southern/central LA. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for parts of coastal/southern MS and western LA. #LAwx #MSwx
We want to continue to stress that this WILL be a DANGEROUS and LIFE-THREATENING storm. There WILL be significant wind damage. Prepare for widespread power outages and tree/structural damage in these purple/red areas on the graphic below.
Hurricane Ida is expected to deliver LIFE-THREATENING Flash Flooding for portions of Louisiana and coastal MS. 8-16 inches of rainfall is possible and a Flash Flood Watch is in effect due to this.
.@LouisianaGov is starting his press conference on Hurricane Ida (and COVID...and whatever other disaster we are currently having.) #lalege #lagov
Today is the one year anniversary of Hurricane Laura and Louisiana is facing another CATEGORY 4 hurricane. #lalege #lagov
Hurricane Ida is supposed to make landfall between St. Mary's and Terrebonne parishes. @LouisianaGov says people need to be where they are going to be for the storm by nightfall tomorrow night. #lalege #lagov
Unfortunately, #Ida has continued to rapidly intensify this afternoon and is now an 80mph hurricane.
Cloud tops have warmed somewhat in the last hour or so as we approach DMIN and the center passes over the Isle of Youth.
This is expected, and doesn't preclude more RI tomorrow.

The official NHC forecast for #Ida now calls for landfall in SE #LAwx as a 140mph Cat 4.
The storm is overperforming intensity predictions, a trend that may well continue over the weekend.
Plan as if this could be a Category Five. Even if it's not, it may well feel like it.

Plan as if this could be a Category Five. Even if it's not, it may well feel like it.
Also remember that a storm's category only reflects the winds experienced by a few spots on the immediate coast.
The greater threat for most of #LAwx is water.
15-20" of rain and 10-15 feet of storm surge will strain even the best flood control systems.

🌀 4AM CT Tropical Storm Ida Thread: Ida continues northwest south of Cuba, expected to enter into the SE Gulf tonight/early Saturday. Ida remains on track to become a major hurricane, delivering significant impacts to portions of southern LA and southern MS. #lawx #mswx (1/5)
🌀 As we gear up for the potential impacts from TD9 which could be #Ida later today or tonight there are a few thing we would like everyone to understand and be prepared for. #LAwx #MSwx
💆 DO NOT PANIC! Be prepared, stay up to date, and try to remain calm. You have time IF you begin today. If the track continues as forecast, conditions will likely begin to go downhill late Saturday. This gives you today, Friday, & even early Saturday. #LAwx #MSwx

BREAKING: SPP back to Level 3.
This means we can expect rolling blackouts at any time.
Oklahoma leaders and @OGandE @OklahomaNatural said this change back to LEVEL 3 would force rolling blackouts.
