**** Official Hurricane Ida Thread ****

[baseline bum]

too lazy to drive over there today, tbh

's great when there is a storm in Baja since it's south facing. Get some pretty decent waves in the ~10 foot range then. Though if you want a beach to just be lazy at Redondo is nice. West facing so the water is pretty calm, can practically just lay on your back and take siesta on the swells in the early afternoon. Plus nice to stuff yourself at the oyster bar on the pier after tbh.

Sorry but doubtful that Biden will just toss some paper towels at citizens for cleanup

Well not today anyways, he's back home in Delaware, a side trip to Dover AFB...the children have arrived.

How bout a bend over?

Oh wow it's been on land for 9 hours and it's still a 115 MPH Category 3, aka still a "major hurricane". Unreal.

dunno, but Santa Monica beach is kicking ass today, tbh

I was there a few weeks ago. Santa Monica is the crown jewel of LA.

C'mon son, Huntington Beach is where it's at.

huntington beach was always worth if willing to make the drive. bonfire at night too

Not sure if true

Holy Frick!!! The main transmission tower that feeds New Orleans electricity has collapsed into the Mississippi River! People reporting that the city pumps have lost power!! These idiots don’t have back up power generators for their pumps!!! WTF...WTF!!!!! Criminal Negligence!!!! Power could be out for weeks!!!

apparently they can’t restore power to pumping stations until the roads are passable.

I hit that pier all the time. There's also a nice restaurant over there as well...

The restaurant is called Kincaids, IIRC

they can;t restore power because a transmission tower fell into the ing mississippi river. Those things don't grow on trees, and with COVID shortages they are going to have to hope one has already been made and can be rerouted

I always pay for my meals, Dale... come on son, people are trying to make a living. I even left some hefty tips during the pandemic.

Sure they can, it'll just take a few days/weeks to restore like it did here in Texas.

Tough break, though.

All they have to do is set it upright again. Easy peasy

It could take a month or longer. And it's 90+ degrees with over 90% humidity in NOLA in September. No A/C.

[Darth_Pelican]

It's still a ing Category 4 hurricane 6 hours after landfall.

probably will be downgraded to Cat 3 at 7pm (8PM EDT advisory) though

Eyewall about to hit New Orleans right now, the worst is still to come for Darth_Pelican

The eyewall never hit New Orleans. It was well west of the city. We’re still without power but there’s minimal structural damage. The main damage was to the west of the city. Power restoration is the biggest challenge here but once restored recovery will be fine.
