Galveston isn’t much than a that with a SEAWALL to block storm surge.

People are on their roofs in New Orleans. Saying the whole city may be underwater within hours.

The twitter trend of "Laplace" is absolutely horrible. Seem like people by the hundreds trapped in attics and on rooftops asking for rescue.

WWL shows most of the New Orleans area got 6-8" in the past 24 hours. Areas to the south of the city generally got 3-6". There is a pocket near Destrehan that got close to a foot of rain that appears to be the highest so far.

Thanks for the Infor;

Meanwhile back in DC Joe Biden is looking for sprinkles for his sundae

All the reports I’m getting show major wind damage and trees down, roofing lost. Standing water in some areas. The major power infrastructure literally was ripped up and thrown in Mississippi River so power is out at least a week but more likely 6 weeks. Hammond, LaPlace, and others mentioned here got rocked but Orleans parish seems to have gotten very lucky assuming levees hold still.

Thanks for the update.
Keeping New Orleans in my prayers.

My parents home is getting hammered right now.

So far no damage, just no electricity.

Dude said the camera was 10 feet off the ground. At the end it looked like it was covered. Was that a Van that went by there?

Possibly..

There's another video and it appears it's still above water but the water is right at it and splashes over it from time to time.

Hurricane Ida the day after -

Houma, LA hit pretty bad from the looks of this video:

Hurricane Ida made landfall as one of the strongest hurricanes to ever hit Louisiana, based on wind speeds.

It had remained a Category 4 throughout Sunday morning, but was on the brink of becoming a Category 5 as the eye made landfall just southwest of Grand Isle, near Port Fourchon in Louisiana around 11:55 a.m.

The storm made landfall with 150 mph winds.

More on the way? Kate, Larry and Mindy...

MS didn't get much help after Katrina, everything was sent to NOLA.. We re-built..

On the 10 year anniversary, the sitting POTUS went to NOLA instead of the MS Gulf Coast.. It's fine, didn't need to one prior, didn't need that one acting like he cared either.

Guess what, probably won't need this one either.
