I keep waiting for the camera to go black or the houses to implode.

I live in area it's heading. We are staying and ready as we can be. I have to many pets to leave. We are praying for the best.

Please be safe. I have prayers headed your way.

The Washington Post has removed its paywall from their live coverage of Hurricane Ida so everyone can access the information:

“On the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s assault on New Orleans, Category 4 Ida slammed into the southeast Louisiana coastline after rapidly gaining strength Saturday night. The powerhouse storm, packing winds of 150 mph, is forecast to walloping New Orleans with hurricane-force winds and over a foot of rain Sunday afternoon and evening.


Near where Ida comes ashore, the National Hurricane Center is predicting “potentially catastrophic” wind damage and an “extremely life-threatening” ocean surge. Devastating effects from destructive winds and flooding rain could extend more than a hundred miles inland.”

Please, PLEASE keep us updated and let us know how you are doing. I will be praying for your safety and the safety of your family and pets.

This is a huge storm. It will be interesting to see how it moves up the Mississippi Delta, and Ohio Valley. I bet that there will be a lot of flooding in those areas if the storm lingers.

...EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CATEGORY 4 HURRICANE IDA MAKES LANDFALL NEAR PORT FOURCHON LOUISIANA...

NOAA Doppler radar imagery indicates that the eye of Ida made landfall along the southeastern coast of Louisiana near Port Fourchon around 1155 AM CDT (1655 UTC). Data from an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft and Doppler radar data indicate that Ida's maximum sustained winds at landfall were estimated to be 150 mph (240 km/h). The latest minimum central pressure estimated from reconnaissance aircraft data is 930 mb (27.46 in).

Within the past hour, sustained winds of 43 mph (69 km/h) and a gust to 67 mph (107 km/h) were reported at Lakefront Airport in New Orleans.

A NOAA National Ocean Service tide gauge in Shell Beach, Louisiana, recently reported a water level of 6.4 feet above mean higher high water, which is an approximation of inundation in that area.

A NOAA National Ocean Service tide gauge at Bay Waveland Yacht Club, Mississippi, recently reported a water level of 5.5 feet above mean higher high water, which is an approximation of inundation in that area.

Parish north of New Orleans already reporting power outages and gas shortages

As Hurricane Ida neared the Louisiana coast, local leaders in the parish just north of New Orleans across Lake Pontchartrain said approximately 7,600 homes were already without power and gas shortages had been reported.

I haven't lost power yet. Gas stations have been empty since yesterday. Store shelves empty. It's heartbreaking for the people that can't afford to stock up. We have offered help to many and have plenty of it comes to neighbors needing help. This is a scary storm.

Reed is out and about in Houma, LA doing his usual thing

ETA, he said the worst of it should hit there about 45 minutes from now.

Those old houses sitting on cider blocks…. Not very high up

Prayers for everyone in it's path. So dangerous.

Q & A happening now on this channel with officials. I just heard a report that SAR will be out at daybreak.

 

[WildOrchid]

I’m watching the cbs app. Their team arrived when the yellow roof and balcony were already on the ground crumpled. Is that the roof you mean?

No, this stream, if you scroll back about 7 minutes you can see it

 

[Barnabas]

I’ve been watching live streams all day, and it’s scary. I would never have the courage to be out driving around filming it.

 

[DeDee]

We left NO yesterday around 6pm. Arrived N of Jackson, MS around 1am.

Never, in over nine years, have we evacuated. Didn't board pets. We need a place that allows a hamster, a gerbil and a dog named Ginger for an extended stay so may need to travel further N but not today as nervous exhaustion has set in.
