Our tree across road. Neighbor's tree across power lines. 200 miles from gulf.

Heard that was an error caused by low readings on the flood gauge

Power out here at midnight. Track headed right here. Wireless weather station show gust of 72. Hearing trees fall.

The reverse flow is just wrong. But numerous people before this were concerned about the river being that low. Went to New Orleans in Decemer after Katrina at night. It was just beyond creepy crossing the Bonnet Carre spillway on the interstate looking out across the lake to Metarie and seeing...

That's gonna be the death blow for New Orleans and a ton of people that are there. No power = no pumps = no opening and closing of flood gates to shuffle water around. Sister and family said 30 minutes ago they still have power in a suburb of Baton Rouge the east. Still have power here at...

If it keeps going the way it is will cross the MS river at Lapace/Reserve, LA. Largest port by volume in the US. Also lots of grain elevators for loading and unloading barges of grain that come down the MS river from the midwest and upper midwest. They scare the shit out of me. Did a 300' ladder...

Eye at Raceland now. If it keeps moving on it's current track it will be headed up the MS river soon which is not going to be good for chemical plants and refineries on the river or the amount of tugs that are docked at those places to sit out the storm. Gas was $2.50 in Baton Rouge last I looked.

Thought it was a derogatory racist name for guys that whack people with .22's to teach them not to talk.

Price of oil has actually dropped just a tiny bit. Of course you can bet the price of gas will go up. Haven't seen any news on refinery outages but just the amount of people that ship and handle all this shit that are now sitting at what is left of their home right now will have an impact...

When he picked Lockport he picked a good place to go to. Eye sitting centered on Lockport now. Creeping along at 10mph.

Big problem post hurricane is going to be getting any work done. My parents just bought a new dishwasher when theirs died. Had it delivered and the socket needed something. I couldn't get down there now so called an electrician. 4 weeks for someone to do 5 minutes of work. They had a plumber out...

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"...
