Per @NHC_Atlantic: 700 AM CDT Key Messages for #Ida: Extremely life-threatening storm surge & catastrophic wind damage are imminent where core of #Ida moves onshore in next few hours
#Hurricane 🌀 #Ida #HurricaneIda #Louisiana #GulfCoast

9:20pm to 5:20am, #Hurricane 🌀 #Ida eye stabilizes & intensifies further just before landfall… winds topping 150 mph. Going to be devastating for those in and just east of eyewall. #HurricaneIda #Louisiana #GulfCoast #HurricaneKatrina 16 yrs ago today

Seems to be a trend with #GulfofMexico #hurricane 🌀 development … rapid intensification in major hurricanes.

28 people are known to have intentionally stayed behind on Grand Isle to ride out #HurricaneIda. Grand Isle pictured below before the storm. Bad call IMHO.
