In another life I would have loved to become an extreme weatherman. Being in the heat of the moment of a major storm is jaw dropping and humbling.

Assuming that is salt or brackish water, is it from storm surge that far away from the thing even making landfall?
Yeah
It looks like it’s moving East to west rather than just slamming into the coast and moving inlan and breaking up. This is going to be terrible.
Absolutely wonderful. I’m really enjoying the find out decade.

Would this not suck energy out of the storm and at least mitigate the most extreme worst case scenarios of a cat 5 blasting straight into a vulnerable coastal city? (I haven’t been following any coverage, and so just taking a guess based on what I’ve heard over the years about these kinds of storms.)
Huh? The latest I’m seeing on Weather Underground is that it’ll head up along the Mississippi River and then taking a turn northeast. There is some uncertainty after that, but there do not seem to be any models predicting that it’ll follow the coast.
NOAA has a detailed interactive tracking thingy here:

YouTube links to live ground footage of Hurricane Ida.

So this is pretty bad I think with the circulation whipping around right into NO?
This says the right-front quadrant of a hurricane in the northern hemisphere is the most damaging. So yeah, New Orleans is in for a rough time

Bunch of cams but the Grand Isle one is insane

Cool title on this thread
I would guess that’s about 30-ish miles from the eye. Is that enough for the winds to reduce substantially from the worst of it? (Actually that might be more like 50 miles.)
It’s from when Hurricane Elsa was a thing.
Here in Puerto Vallarta looks like Nora caused enough rain that one of the small rivers a couple blocks from our place picked up intensity and collapsed one of the businesses overlooking the river.
No effects here other than internet being knocked out since last night, which is meaningless compared to the downed buildings.

What the fuck with the upper right camera? Are they trapped in the flooding?
