Trust what you see on TV as fact, right? Turn the volume off it's recorded at someones hosue with the TV in the background.

Just looked at the entergy outage map. New Orleans is all red lots of outtages. Starting to have quite a few in Baton Rouge. Looked here they had 1 outtage affecting 1 customer. Figured it could have been someone hitting a pole or something. 30 seconds later our power went out for 30 seconds...

So far all I've heard is adrift and they were tracking with GPS. The one thing I heard was nobody on board so likely not pumping or even drilling at the time. Reported to have moved 35 miles someone said by tracking GPS. Mentioned 130 miles from New Orleans, but there's a lot of stuff out there...

He mentioned earlier they were on cell signal and not satellite like some streamers. Surprised it lasted this long. 300,000 without power now in Louisiana. Population desnity gets lower as you further north, but the amount trees near wires increases on the flip side. Just starting to rain...

The roof going in video on tweet

Guess they came to a conclusion. https://www.lafourchegazette.com/townnews/meteorology/reports-shell-mars-broke-loose-in-gulf-as-ida-moved-through/article_35167ce8-08ef-11ec-a49d-6b9750841a4a.html

The cajun navy was pre posistioned and talking of starting to deploy in some outlying areas. Girlfriend getting hit by an outlier band of heavy rain in Alabama, nothing here. One of the outter bands is over the middle part of Alabama and up to Jackson, MS.

Building the police in Grand Isle were hunkered down in had the roof collapse/blown off. Some idiot on the island was asking to be rescued. Not a chance with 5+ feet of water on the roads. Every hurricane they get evacuation orders and a small number of people stay that always say "I'll just...

Outage map. Not 50 people on the links, 50 outage with a number of people for each.

Streamer had it right he would probably be stuck there for a while. He drove through Golden Meadow to get to Lockport. I used to go through there often but not from there. Thing is there's so many canals, flood gates, flood walls once one in particular is overtopped it's very very hard to tell...

The media rescinded their story on the MARS platform calling it currently "too murky" to tell. That video looked like a jack up rig. A boat/rig made together that when it gets there it jacks intself up enough room to work and then pulls them down and moves on as needed.

That stream of the guy from Texas in Lockport just said the Golden Meadow floodgate was overtopped. I know he's not from there, but that's the flood gate for where he is at.

Port Fourchon is right below Golden Meadow on the way to Grand Isle. There's very very little "land" down there. You drive the road down and both sides are water/canals the whole way down there. Did a bridge on Bayou Lafource just bleow Houma that was on a giant pivot. Counterbalanced so it...

Grand Isle has been under evacuation for a few days already. It is under evacuation notice often. Not many people actually on the island. Lot of the camps are mostly people that rent from out of town as you mentioned. Bumming around, surf fishing and stuff. You go there it's clear all the places...

Put a pretty big dent in your day I would imagine.

MARS oil platform is having "issues". Hurricane hitting directly on the LOOP. The Louisiana Offshore Oil Platform, where pipelines go out to the gulf and an load/unload tankers offshore. One offshore rig had problems with it's BOP (Blow out preventer) during their shutdown. No further word on...

Most all structures on Grand Isle are camps and people know they are subject to often washing away or heavy flooding. It's a place to surf fish and spend a few days at a camp mostly. Pumps in New Orleans are going down due to lack of power one by one. No backup of course after billions and...

EMS suspended until further notice in New Orleans.

Waiting to see a truck hit with a lawn chair at 100+ mph. Bottom one guy just went through Golden Meadow I think. It was Golden Meadow and he drove into Lockport he finally said. Golden Meadow was easy to pick out from the bridge they have. Surprised he didn't get a speed ticket while sitting...

Local news out of Baton Rouge and New Orleans almost totally shut down since last night. Just updates on school closures and shit lol. But yeah man has always and probably always will leave near water/coast. Overwhelming percentage of Americans live within I think 2 hours of a coast or...

The big thing for most people in a hurricane is long term power outages that go on forever. Even 150 miles inland or more you can go weeks with no power, everyone you know has no power, and every store you normally go to has no power. I lived 3 hours north of Houston and Rita did a number on me...

Mobile, AL already getting tornado watches. Rain predictions, difference between good side and bad side of a hurricane. I used to live for a short time just south of Hammond almost on the lake in Ponchatoula, LA. I can't imagine that much rain. They took it bad during Katrina.

Power starting to go out in New Orleans. Saw the west bank was having some large outages. Found some traffic, I-55 just north of the LA/MS border. Went to McDonalds to get breakfast. I-55 traffic was light, next door is a truck stop. Pretty heavy traffic getting gas and most had a LA licence...

Mom went to the store this morning and just got back of all things. Said it was a great time to go to the store. Only 6 people in the store. Nobody on the road and she went under I-55 and it was totally clear just over an hour north of New Orleans. Said they had everything including ice, but no...

Looking at Baton Rouge traffic. All traffic flowing I-10 west out of town at 60-75mpg, Same for I10 East. I55 North out of Hammond is 70+ and cams show clear nearly everywhere. Of course at this point where in the hell are you going to go. Predicted here shows winds of 70mph and rain of 6"...

160mph now. Showed a pic of I-10 at the LA/TX Border and it was bumper to bumper crawling along. Rain in New Orleans now. Edge just hitting Baton Rouge and Gulfport MS right on the gulf. Next update they expect cat 5. Not as large phsyically as Katrina was is one plus.

Storm picking up rotation speed and pressure dropping pretty fast now.

Bourbon street on a Saturday night.

1008 mb "extrapolated" at sea level now. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/recon/

Coon Ass engineering. Breaux Bridge obviously near the spillway.

Turn is going to put New Orleans and Baton Rouge on the bad side. A lot of New Orleans is going to come down to the levees and the new storm surge wall go. Baton Rouge is already heavily sogged down. First half of the year they got 48" of rain when the entire year they average 60". Fully expect...

Where it's headed is the swampiest of areas except right for the southwest portion of the state where there is like 250 people in an entire parish, just duck hunting. If you look at an aerial photo/sat photo there it's all canals put through the swamp from the oil industry over decades. Still...

They are accurate a day before hand. If you wait till a day before very very hard to leave due to a couple million people trying to get gas and travel on the interstate to 300 or more miles away to find a place to stay. During Katrina people went to Memphis, Houston, and San Antonio and could...

Gas stations starting to close from being out of gas. Not easy moving a couple million people overnight 300+ miles. It went from cat 1 which nobody leaves for to cat 4 from the morning to afternoon.

Gets moving. Also as gets pointed out in this thread often. A number of people will stay because they figure by end of day it will change direction 10 times in the predictions and not hit anywhere near them or not near as strong. People have seen it often in their life and just shrug. Lower MS...

A LOT of people as mentioned that will never work. The largest employer in the state of LA now is the university medical center. Which is the new name for Charity hospital in New Orleans. D governor in LA much like during Katrina. There's a reason I haven't lived in LA since I left high school...

As stated it's built there for a reason, unless you manage to move the Gulf and all the Oil infrastructure of south LA good luck. Now living there and building casinos and shit, no idea they can be built anywhere. The french quarter can be built in any rat infested area. The money maker there is...

It went over Cuba, didn't do much to the size.
