The absolute worst case is a westward approach where the north eyewall passes over Lake P. The approach ida is taking is the second worst case. Strong NE winds will back water up into the lake, and strong south winds bring surge from the south.
New Orleans is in trouble from a surge perspective no matter where the storm hits because of the angle of approach and general proximity of the core. The only question is do they get the Cat 3 or greater winds.
That’s a terrible rant and take. “Storms always will happen so we shouldn’t try and be better with our carbon footprint”. It should have been deleted and should be removed again

center is very well defined On Barbados radar. Seems to be also racing westward
Nailed it Windspeed. It looks like a squall line with the wake low tagging behind it. The low level flow to the south is also beginning to be tugged north as well. Seems to be developing nicely but slowly
