BuffaloWeather Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Louisana has been getting destroyed by hurricanes the last 2 years. Just last year they had Laura (High end Cat 4), Delta (High End Cat 2), and Zeta (Upgraded to Cat 3) and likely another major with Ida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that all day yesterday when people were talking about evacuation difficulties. Perhaps Mother Nature is trying to tell us something. It’s only going to get worse as climate change accelerates, sea levels rise, and our political system stays dysfunctional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptcatz Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Since it's 2021 maybe we should just ask Ida what it/she/he/zhe/they identify as instead of us just assuming? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospero Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I think Ida looked better an hour and half ago. Maybe just me. Will Ida have a well-defined eye by noon EST? I have my doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her preferred gender pronoun is her, but she told me that she's sick and tired of the male gaze. A chief complaint is the saffir-simpson scale. Looking her up and down all day, then rating her on a scale two white men came up with? Figures. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren’t lying when they said climate change is going to cost trillions. What’s nuts is that Louisiana is a relatively cheap example. The east coast of Florida will one day have its hurricane barrage and that will be so much worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came across an abstract for an article published in the AMS Journal of Climate earlier this year that predicts that "Florida’s Gulf Coast is projected to see significant increases in TC activity relative to the long-term historical mean" through the 2030s. I searched the forum to see if there has been any discussion on this but didn't turn up anything but it will be interesting to see if this happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand I get some optimism that maybe this thing won't strengthen as fast as feared, but on the other hand it could actually be worse if it only strengthens gradually then explodes just before landfall. I'd like to see it peak early then hit an ERC and weaken just before landfall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were a Cat 4 now, it'd definitely have time to weaken before landfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed, snow and hurricane fan Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I believe in the day the UN WMO didn't approve a list. The late Dr. John Hope, of TWC, the original 1980s tropical met, contributed the name 'Camille' to the 1969 storm name list because he had a daughter Camille. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure are plenty of expensive homes and businesses there. In terms of loss of life and loss of homes for people who don't own 6 of them I worry about the gulf coast more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's odd watching the "storm cancel" weenies on the weather forums. They expected recon to find a 920 mb storm or something. LOL I went to bed at 1:30am with absolutely no expectation to wake up to anything more than a Cat 1. I'm surprised so many on these weather forums anticipated more. Ida really shouldn't take off until tonight and Sunday. Now if it's still a Cat 1 in 24 hours, then that might mean a weaker storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasent it last year everyone was calling for a Sub900 storm only have the first drop record 928? Eta, Iota one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
