Watching some livestreams of interstates going in and out of NoLa, and aside from the amount of traffic heading into the city, I'm struck by how calm the weather is right now. Familiar vibes from my Florida days. Hope any kiwis that stayed have stocked up on liquor and ammo, shits gonna get wild.

I've heard that its expected to hit around 11;23am so we still have a few hours before all hell breaks loose. There was a ding dong riding a bike on one of the streams a few minutes ago, so there are still people who don't realize how bad things are going to get.

Hurricane Ida rapidly intensifies into dangerous Category 4
Hurricane Ida was rapidly intensifying early Sunday, becoming a dangerous Category 4 hurricane on track for a potentially devastating landfall on the Louisiana coast while emergency officials in the region grappled with opening shelters for displaced evacuees despite the risks of spreading the coronavirus.
The National Hurricane Center predicted Ida would become an extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane with 130 mph (209 kph) winds - that happened early Sunday ahead of an expected afternoon landfall. The storm arrived on the exact date Hurricane Katrina ravaged Louisiana and Mississippi 16 years earlier.
Ida was a Category 4 hurricane Sunday morning with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph. The storm was centered about 175 miles (280 kilometers) southeast of coastal Houma, Louisiana, and was traveling northwest at 15 mph (24 kph).
The storm threatened a region already reeling from a resurgence of COVID-19 infections, thanks to low vaccination rates and the highly contagious delta variant.
New Orleans hospitals planned to ride out the storm with their beds nearly full, as similarly stressed hospitals elsewhere had little room for evacuated patients. And shelters for those fleeing their homes carried an added risk of becoming flashpoints for new infections.
Gov. John Bel Edwards vowed Saturday that Louisiana's “resilient and tough people” would weather the storm. He also noted shelters would operate with reduced capacities “to reflect the realities of COVID.”
Edwards said Louisiana officials were already working to find hotel rooms for many evacuees so that fewer had to stay in mass shelters. He noted that during last year's hurricane season, Louisiana found rooms for 20,000 people.
“So, we know how to do this,” Edwards said. “I hope and pray we don’t have to do it anywhere near that extent.”
In coastal Gulfport, Mississippi, a Red Cross shelter posted signs displaying directions for evacuees along with warnings about COVID-19. With skies still sunny, only a handful of people had shown up Saturday evening.
Shelter manager Barbara Casterlin said workers were required to wear face masks. Evacuees were encouraged to do the same. Anyone who refuses will be sent to an isolated area, she said, and so will people who are sick.
“We’re not checking vaccinations,” Casterlin said, “but we are doing temperature checks two or three times a day.”
President Joe Biden approved emergency declarations for Louisiana and Mississippi ahead of Ida's arrival.
Comparisons to the Aug. 29, 2005, landfall of Katrina weighed heavily on residents bracing for Ida. A Category 3 storm, Katrina was blamed for 1,800 deaths as it demolished oceanfront homes in Mississippi and caused levee breaches and catastrophic flooding in New Orleans.
In Saucier, Mississippi, Alex and Angela Bennett spent Saturday afternoon filling sand bags to place around their flood-prone home. Both survived Katrina, and didn't expect Ida to cause nearly as much destruction where they live, based on forecasts.
“Katrina was terrible. This ain’t gonna be nothing,” Alex Bennett said. “I hate it for Louisiana, but I’m happy for us.”
Long lines formed at gas pumps Saturday as people rushed to escape. Trucks pulling saltwater fishing boats and campers streamed away from the coast on Interstate 65 in Alabama, while traffic jams clogged Interstate 10 heading out of New Orleans.
Ida intensified so swiftly that New Orleans officials said there was no time to organize a mandatory evacuation of its 390,000 residents. Mayor LaToya Cantrell urged residents to leave voluntarily. Those who stayed were warned to prepare for long power outages amid sweltering heat.
Officials also stressed that the levee and drainage systems protecting the city had been much improved since Katrina. But they cautioned flooding was still possible with up to 20 inches (50 centimeters) of rain forecast in some areas.
Edwards said 5,000 National Guard troops were being staged in 14 Louisiana parishes for search and rescue efforts. And 10,000 linemen were on standby to respond to electrical outages.
Ida posed a threat far beyond New Orleans. A hurricane warning was issued for nearly 200 miles (320 kilometers) of Louisiana’s coastline, from Intracoastal City south of Lafayette to the Mississippi state line. A tropical storm warning was extended to the Alabama-Florida line.
Meteorologist Jeff Masters, who flew hurricane missions for the government and founded Weather Underground, said Ida is forecast to move through “the just absolute worst place for a hurricane.”
The Interstate 10 corridor between New Orleans and Baton Rouge is a critical hub of the nation’s petrochemical industry, lined with oil refineries, natural gas terminals and chemical manufacturing plants. Entergy, Louisiana’s major electricity provider, operates two nuclear power plants along the Mississippi River.
A U.S. Energy Department map of oil and gas infrastructure shows scores of low-lying sites in the storm’s projected path that are listed as potentially vulnerable to flooding.

Does anyone have a good stream they would recommend? I'm watching a few now and they either have no or poor quality audio.

Keep a close eye on New Orleans, the levey system could fail and this could be Katrina all over again.
This is going to suck hard for the area. The general poverty level hasn't improved at all since 2005. Tons of people just don't have cars to evacuate and will be stuck.
A mass evacuation notice should have gone out days ago.

Despite there being talks of finally tearing the place down, nothing was ever done with the park, and to this day, the sign still says "Closed For Storm".
It didn't say which storm, so it's really been applicable all these years.

I’m not looking forward to the bus loads of people from that area showing up in states north of Louisiana. I remember after Katrina we got a delivery of a few hundred to my area. Within one day they had built multiple crack houses, set up a brothel and broke into numerous cars, homes and businesses.

As others have mentioned, this is primed to be a huge Happening that could very well be worse than Katrina.
Except this time people have smart phones/cameras and way more stuff is going to hit the internet. Make sure to archive everything.

Listening to the WWL radio stream and a previous caller starting going on about the government's dumb decision to not require evacuation, they cut him off to go to commercial break and came back with a different caller....
WWL radio just said 911 is out. Already. Checked on twitter and yep.

I was working for an electronics store during Katrina and remember delivering full appliance sets to newly built homes for Katrina victims. All black families. They were relocated with brand new fully furnished houses. I expect the same thing from this.
