Gulf Braces for Heart of Hurricane Season

August 27, 2021

Here we go.

#Ida forecast to be stronger – and stronger earlier – in 11am NHC Advisory. Prepare for an even stronger storm than forecast! pic.twitter.com/2ex2FWUe5w

When the hurricane experts are nervous and worried about the project strength, path, and duration of a hurricane, you should be worried too. Do not take #HurricaneIda for granted. Leave, prepare, be safe. pic.twitter.com/62qpRxuRQn

This monster will probably make a couple of small towns go away, kinda like the wildfires. Louisiana, for three different contributing factors, has been losing land to the Gulf for many decades now.

  Too much meat, fish, and shellfish in the diet, Lamar Smith as head of the science committee, (the damage goes on) and John Kennedy? Or is it the inability to open their mouths when talking?

    The Louisiana Gulf coast naturally slumps to the sea.
    
    The Mississippi River flow has been constrained to a single path, starving southern Louisiana swamps of a regular silt supply.
    
    The entire area has been criss-crossed with canals, including very large ones for oil and gas access, aggravating the erosion of the marshy land. (Saltier water has been moving inland, changing the ecosystem and killing freshwater vegetation.)
    
    This is why I don’t like southern Louisiana being used as an example of AGW-caused sea-level rise. Use Miami or rocky parts of the coastline along the Atlantic.

That got to hurricane strength pretty quickly. Yesterday it was a tropical low. The predictions seem to be worsening too, now expected to be a Cat 4 at landfall. What will it look like tomorrow and what will the predictions be?
