We’re getting raked by a band right now. Extreme rain and 35mph wind mixing down. .

This is correct!!! .

At work, please delete if already posted… .

Philippe Papin @pppapin Unfortunately trends on KLIX radar do *not* suggest #Ida is leveling off. Instead the eyewall has become more symmetric w/ the west side becoming more solid. Earlier attempt at a “moat” around the eyewall also looks to have filled back in.

A sobering wake up this am! Marshall Shepherd @DrShepherd2013 Start or continue PRAYING...#HurricaneIda catastrophic disaster unfolding. I am usually more nuanced. Not today. This is not hype. This is a professional meteorologist, director of @UGAAtmosSci and aformer Pres of @ametsoc sick to his stomach. 50 mb in 22 hr, rapid deepening

Here is part of MOB’s historical disco on Opal. On the morning of October 2nd, Opal intensified to a hurricane while centered 150 miles west of Merida, Mexico. By this time, Opal began to drift north as a large upper level trough moved across the central United States. Opal then accelerated to the north northeast on October 3rd and 4th and underwent a period of rapid intensification - strengthening into a strong Category 4 hurricane early on October 4th. The minimum central pressure of 916 mb with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph occurred when the hurricane was centered about 290 miles south southwest of Pensacola, FL around 5am on October 4th. Rapid Intensification and Evacuations Anybody living along the northern Gulf Coast in 1995 will tell you they heard some unsettling news when they woke up the morning of October 4th. Gulf coast residents went to bed on October 3rd knowing that Opal was a Category 2 storm with maximum winds of 100 mph. By 4am the next morning, the winds had increased to 135 mph. By 10am, Opal had maximum sustained winds of an alarming 150 mph, which is just below Category 5 intensity. Upon learning this, thousands of residents decided to evacuate at the last minute, which resulted in grid lock on many major highways, including Interstate 65. Many of these residents ended up seeking refuge in local shelters as Opal closed in on the western Florida Panhandle. .

An amazing light show happening 50 miles offshore in this outer band!!! .

130 mph max 125 mph landfall 938 pressure S of Dulac LA .

The status on Tropical Tidbits says “finished” for the mission. Very confusing! .

Yikes!!!….. 48H 29/1800Z 28.6N 90.6W 120 KT 140 MPH .

Folks, you got a mod here telling you about the banter thread. Heed his subtle warning and please take the nonsense to the banter thread. Let’s reserve this thread for serious Ida discussion. .

The FD did say recon hadn’t been thru the east side. This leaves the door open for a special update if they find what they need, imo. .
