This storm strangely keeps moving west. I’m not in the cone of death anymore.
I like how all the idiot reporters went to Miami while the storm has always been predicted to head into the Gulf.

Hoping we get some needed rain out of it.

Looks like my area is the 🎯 for Hurricane Ida coming in this Saturday and Sunday. 😳

Yeah, Baton Rouge, my city, is gonna get whacked pretty hard unless something changes. Been through a lot of hurricanes, bad and not so bad, in my many years of life. This one has me scared big time.

@Jayzelady where are you now? Are you in a safe location? I have been following the news about IDA. Keep me posted.

We are still home in Baton Rouge getting ready to ride out the storm. My two girls and their families who live here in BR are doing same. My third daughter who lives in Texas has been begging us all to come to her house near Fort Worth and is worried silly because we all choose to stay. Our biggest concern is the strong winds. You just prepare for the worst and pray for the best. It’s what South Louisiana folks do. Our weather here is expected to get bad starting Sunday afternoon. Will post as long as we keep electricity!! Send some prayers!!!

That's a Beast.
Baton Rouge thankfully won't see the storm surge that the coast will.

It looks like it’s going into Morgan City on the coast, then blasting through the Atchafalaya Basin, which is the middle of nowhere, between Lafayette and Baton Rouge. Unfortunately, Baton Rouge is on the bad side for potential storm intensity. Hopefully, it’ll tighten up and concentrate it’s fury on the mostly desolate Atchafalaya swamp, and not be as hard on Baton Rouge. You can never really tell with these things until they roll through, though.

Unfortunately they are all saying the eye will come very close or directly over Baton Rouge. Winds could gust to 100 mph. Unless there is a drastic change, this ⬆️ is pretty much it. 😕

Yes, unfortunately. The 4pm weather.gov update looks like it’s shifted a little further to the east, with the eye headed for Baton Rouge. Still time for further changes, though, before land fall.

Those in New Orleans without power. No A/C and it's over 80 with the Heat Index.
Those staying in New Orleans in Modern Hotels will not have A/C either ?, and no way to open windows.
Emergency Generators for Hotels don't generally power the A/C system? They power Emergency Lighting. And maybe enough power for one elevator to work for the Fire Dept. to use.
If the modern hotel has electronic doors, during a power outage, those doors will be locked or unlocked??
Also, all of the Security Cameras may or may not be running, and if they are, unless they have night vision, they may not see much at all.
Some Companies in office buildings have installed back up battery power for the computer servers, but if the power stays off for a week, I don't know how long those back up systems can stay up.
I don't know if News agencies will even report on such sensitive issues to the General Public.

One of the worst things with major hurricanes. If you’re fortunate enough to escape without any property damage, or God forbid, injuries, you’re without power for weeks, in the worst of the summer heat. I remember being without power for over two weeks after Ike. Fortunately, I got out early and just enjoyed my time in Dallas as an unplanned vacation. That alone, for me, is enough reason to evacuate. And you need to do it way before the local yokel guberment directs it. They rarely get anything right and hurricanes aren’t any different.

More than 1 million customers in Louisiana and Mississippi — including all of New Orleans — were left without power as Ida, one of the most powerful hurricanes ever to hit the U.S. mainland, pushed through on Sunday and early Monday before weakening into a tropical storm.
Officials warned it could be weeks before the power grid is repaired.

Much about the plan to restore power was unclear Tuesday afternoon, but it was widely expected that even if power was restored to hospitals, the Sewerage & Water Board and other critical needs in the city soon, it would take far longer for average residents and businesses to be able to turn on their lights and their air conditioning.

Hey, y’all! We just got our power back a few minutes ago! I can’t even begin to describe just how rough the Hurricane was. My part of Baton Rouge had wind gusts of 79 mph. Thankfully, I and my two daughters who live here were safe and our homes made it through intact. We lost some trees and fences but thank God they fell away from the houses. Gonna be awhile before we all get over this one. Please pray for those around New Orleans and the coast who had it so, so much worse.

There consequences of being lied to by MSM @Up All Night .
I live in Philly. My iPhone was sending TONADO warnings every 30 seconds. IDA was coming to GET ME. I turned on local news. The news reporter was so happy and excited to give me scary news. I turned off the TV.
I put my sneakers on, found my flashlight and put the good stuff in my handbag. I went into my kitchen to warm up a pork chop on my stove. The Mark Levin show was playing on my radio. The tornado warnings stopped. Now the flood warnings started. ::) For me just rain. I ate my pork chop dinner with no trouble. My brother fell asleep in his home on his sofa. He completely ignored the 20 plus tornado warnings.
We are at the point we no longer believe the warnings or the news.

Using Democrat lemming logic they chose to live in an area with a track record of being hit by hurricanes so insurance and help should be denied.

Those are nice but expensive, plus it’s something else you have to keep up with regular maintenance. The plan that works best for me is just to get the hell out of Dodge if something bad comes my way. And don’t wait for the idiots in guberment to issue evacuation directives, unless you enjoy traffic jam disasters. Get out and get out early. ;)
-
At the least, fill your car with gas several days before bad weather is supposed to hit. If you leave, you don’t want to be stopping for gas on the way. If you stay, a car can recharge phones, has a radio, can give an a/c break, and power other things with a proper inverter.

Yes, indeed. That’s always on my agenda, this time of year. Keep close to a full tank of gas in the car. “Proper planning prevents piss poor performance.” Don’t count on the same type of idiots that bring you Afghanistan “success stories” to save your ass.

We had 7 tornadoes in NJ PA touch down. Took down some houses etc. One was in Princeton NJ , I think Bucks County in PA as well. Where I live we had 8 inches of rain. I have a whole house gas Gen and industrial sump pumps so I just watched the ball game and had a few beers....

During hurricane Sandy my generator ran for 8 Days straight. Another downside is my house became a hotel, restaurant and cell phone recharging station.

I’ve been keeping my eye on that one for several days. If anything has been consistent with it, it’s been constantly trending further east. If that keeps up, it would end up in Florida.
You never know about these blasted things, though. ::)
