This is of the strongest hurricanes on record to hit the state of Louisiana. It will decrease to a tropical storm nearing the border of Mississippi by Monday morning.
Rapidly deteriorating conditions & storm surge arriving in Grand Isle, Louisiana with major #hurricaneida just hours away from a dangerous landfall.

The storm landed on the 16-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, a Category 3 storm that ravaged the Gulf Coast, taking the lives of more than 1,800 people and leaving more than $100 billion worth of damage in its wake.
Now let’s dive into IDA’s eye:

“There’s nobody coming right now,” said New Orleans Director of Homeland Security Collin Arnold Amayor during a press conference Sunday afternoon. “You need to stay inside.”
The storm was an absolute monster before landfall:
People have even been instructed to avoid going to hospitals, which are hunkering down amid the life-threatening winds and heavy rain.
“Please do not try to access a health care or hospital facility right now,” said Jennifer Avegno, director of the New Orleans Health Department. “Our hospitals are hunkering down. They are caring for the patients who are within their walls… We will be there for you when the storm passes.”

Similar VERY strong wording was released by the NWS in New Orleans yesterday’s evening with regards to Hurricane Ida:
There have now been two years in a row of record-breaking hurricanes making landfall in Louisiana.
Hurricane Laura on Aug. 27, 2020 and Hurricane Ida today were both packed with 150 mph winds.
The previous hurricane to contain winds at such speeds in Louisiana was the Last Island Hurricane in 1856.
When it comes to pressure, Ida is the second-strongest storm on record to hit Louisiana, beating out only Hurricane Katrina.

You know that Wormwood (Revelations 8:11) has been passing. Takes about 15-20 years. Responsible for Katrina and Ida.
Betcha more people die from malfeasance during this Cat4, in LA, than Katrina.
Then the corruptocrats will use diaster money to further their marxist agenda and line their pockets.
