"The National Hurricane Center predicted Ida would strengthen into an extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane, with top winds of 140 mph (225 kph) before making landfall along the U.S. Gulf Coast late Sunday."
"If that forecast holds true, Ida would hit 16 years to the day that Hurricane Katrina made landfall as a Category 3 storm with 125 mph. ... Katrina is blamed for an estimated 1,800 deaths."
"The storm’s track put New Orleans on the eastern side — often called the dirty side — which generally sees much more significant effects than the western side."
Seriously what are the odds something like this could happen? Stay as safe as possible for those that live there. Don't expect much help as Biden & company will be hiding.
