Dont think its going to reach Katrina's numbers. But it is still going to be expensive. IIRC, that report turned out to be unsubstantiated and was retracted.

I’m leaving actual thread for experts. It has a lot to do with you downplaying this constantly…first you said it wouldn’t get below 960, now you are claims NOLA is out of the woods. I don’t like weenies that root for destruction but what you’re doing is the opposite end of the spectrum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just comparing some of the Youtube videos of past major storms. Maybe no ones position if directly under the worst of the eyewall. Reed Timmers video in Houma definitely has not shown true near white out conditions as we saw many times with Michael. Ida's radar and satellite presentation is so impressive so chasers must be just missing the inner eyewall. Didn’t take long lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 South Louisiana is unnatural, and while the reasons were good, the unexpected affects, bad. The Mississippi changes its main channel to the Gulf every few hundred years. It would have about a century ago but they built a structure to limit flow down the Atchafalaya, where the river was about to switch to, from the main channel to protect shipping in BTR and MSY/NOLA. They also build many flood levees. Now each year, during Spring rain and snowmelt, sediment gets carried to the very tip of the river to extend the delta, and soft sediment compacting a cm or more a year are not getting new sediment. Reduced annual flow, but at a cost. Similar for Galliano and Golden Meadow, Bayou Lafourche is a distributary of the Mississippi, a flood control structure was built to stop annual floods along the bayou. Those towns don't flood anymore, which means new sediment doesn't keep ground levels even as the soft sediment beneath compacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Oil companies built canals in the swamplands to get drilling barges in, that messed up the fresh water/sea water mix. The nutria, brought for fur, eats marsh grasses, and the logical predator to keep them in check, the alligator, doesn't seem to have a taste for nutria. A lot of 'land' South of NOLA is open water, not even swamp. One reason Ida is slow to spin down just inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
