Hurricane Ida hits Louisiana Gulf of Mexico Coast
Posted By RichC on August 29, 2021
A delayed post updating the Category 4 Hurricane Ida that hit the coast of Louisiana just west of New Orleans packing winds nearing Cat 5 strength. The storm surge over 10 feet will test improvements made after Hurricane Katrina hit nearly the same area in 2005 .. in the first year of my daily blog (or nearly daily in the summer of 2005).
As for the wind and rain, they are expected to create flooding conditions well inland and even later in the week for states further to the north and east.
