bch2014 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 This storm is a game of inches-Morgan City, only about 30 miles west of Houma, is going to come away unscathed. They haven’t even gusted to 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 38 minutes ago, eyewall said: Because calling it land in Louisiana can be very generous but the winds are starting to decrease as of the latest advisory. Winds will decrease some over land just due to friction even if it’s not weakening. I’m sure it is also slowly starting to degrade some. But it takes a lot of energy to maintain a storm at this intensity. I wasn’t expecting rapid weakening for the reasons listed but I’m still surprised it’s been able to maintain this level of organization and intensity for this long. Even given the fact it’s just marsh. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 As of 545pm east time I still have not seen any storm chaser video that is showing true high end Cat 3 conditions. 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. 1 3 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normandy Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 There have been several videos and wind reports showing category 3 conditions. You gotta look a bit harder. The storms resilience over land is quite something 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst conditions down by Grand Isle and nearby towns but it’s too low and elevation for chasers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm chasers for the most part are not going to put themselves in the extreme heart of the danger right on the coast (Grand Isle, Golden Meadows). 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all showing cat 4 conditions easily. Not sure what you are looking at. Also I’m sure the worst of this wasn’t even caught on video. Storms this bad make it hard to capture. Video cuts out and communication is lost. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven’t even gusted to 50. Kinda surprised no one has mentioned this. There’s a 1018 mb high over Georgia. Quite robust for this time of the year. The synoptic scale players favor a significant gradient wind. The west side is not seeing the synoptic ageostrophic flow associated with the synoptic scale gradient as Ida’s center is between their location and the surface high. The flip side is this is making for significantly more wind on the eastern side AND with a substantial fetch over water, all along the east coast of LA. Coastal flooding well away from the center? You betcha. Look at how much more tightly packed the isobars are on the eastern side vs western side, well away from the center. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csnavywx Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The breakdown of the vortex rossby waves in the eyewall over the past 30 minutes is like something out of a textbook. Also waves propagating out from the center into the rainbands (obvious from radar loop). 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaPilot Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 For folks wondering how a Hurricane can retain a lot of energy over the Mississippi Delta, here is a shot of what most of it looks like south of Morgan City, Houma and out towards Grand Isle and east. Its mostly water and it isnt any cooler than the GOM is. Will take a while until its over more "dry" land to spin down. A lot of energy to tap there. Not like the Ocean, but far better than dry land. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPetrulli Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Looks like part of the outer eyewall is gonna brush most of New Orleans, baring a wobble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The eye looks almost better on recent radar frames. It is moving due north for sure with an occasional NNE wobble. Going to be VERY close for NOLA proper. Going to be a rough ride for sure in Kenner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting to see many leveled buildings. Instead I saw 3 roofs blown off, leaning utility poles, and not much else. Maybe it's just solid American construction ha. 2 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
