We'll have to resort to assessing TC intensity by surveying after the fact like with tornadoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospero Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Ida to hit New Orleans. Watching "Live and Let Die" when I was 13 was memorable for me and my first taste of Tarot. New Orleans was also memorable to me. The three forever intertwined in my mind. Even when Katrina was approaching and pounding NO the concept of 007 and Tarot were in my mind. Curious that my fate so many years later has taken me to learn about Dr John Dee, who Prospero is based on, the "Original OO7". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he was in “Right Place Wrong Time”. Dr. John is known for loving his city as well. RIP to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Banter-ish, but the governor should cancel school in Louisiana, and have every bus driver in the state congregate, maybe somewhere on I-49 North of Lafayette, so whether the track shifts back to Lake Charles or New Orleans, they can be doing mass evacs to Houston. Yes, they'll be big overtime for the drivers. But I remember late month for Katrina meant people on fixed incomes at the end of the month didn't have gas or hotel money to evacuate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldub23 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 JB is really going to be bummed if this one doesnt rapidly intesnify. He predicted Henri would and it didnt. I think its moving way too fast to be more than a cat1 and the further east it goes the weaker it will be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't have time to go full Cat 5, or even Cat 4 (maybe borderline Cat 3/4, tops) passing over high SSTs/OHC and light shear, Cat 1 seems low. Even w/ less than 2 full days over the Gulf.

Even w/ less than 2 full days over the Gulf. How can you make such a definitive statement? We have seen that RI can bring a storm to cat 5 within 2 days. It’s still uncommon but we are living with AGW and it happens occasionally now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intensewind002 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Ida just seems like a name that was going to get retired one day tbh. Like some names just have that tone to them that somehow fits a major hurricane 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpion Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Hopefully not another boring Shrimpland landfall that doesn’t destroy anything and chasers can’t get major hurricane winds. It’s only been a year since Laura so I really doubt it’s gonna hit that same area at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
