What you saw on Levi's video was a storm getting its eye together.

Dude, where the hell are you? I thought you left?

Yeah, I’m in chat with some met friends and they agree 5 is definitely on the table now, if not likely.

Is leaving now not an option?

I’m legitimately afraid right now. How the frick do I ensure my kids are safe during this? The responsibility as their father and my wife’s husband is sorta hitting me right now. I think we are going to “sleep” in our hall bathroom with a mattress over us tomorrow
get to a central spot with no windows and make sure you have an axe or something to chop yourself out of needed.

Just wanted to stop in and give prayers to those in the path of the storm. Hopefully everyone stays safe

Greater than 137kt winds at flight level.
Surface level winds would be about 140mph.
Oh, oh Lord. That’s freaking awful. Louisiana will be lucky if it’s just a 4 at this point. My gosh, guys

If it’s 940 now what should we expect at landfall? Could it get to Cat 5?

I never would have believed this from earlier today. But yeah...

Two hopes at this point.. IMO
(I am not a weather expert and my opinion is basically worthless.. but I’m going to give it anyways)
1) EWRC - Eyewall Replacement Cylce
She is getting so strong that a new bigger eye might try to form.. which will squeeze out the smaller eye. this would lower the max winds a little, but spread them out farther into the storm. Both are bad, but 145+ winds are catastrophic for everything in its path.
2) Dry Air from Somewhere or some other miracle.. pray hard for this one. I don’t see it though.
At this rate, she may approach 900? She still has 10+ hours left over extremely warm water. What is going to slow her down? Just awful.
I’m seriously praying hard for everyone in the path of Ida.. Godspeed to all of you over the next 24 hours..

What fricking difference to a person on the ground is 5mph? This a fear porn post
Gonna be hot tomorrow. 96 forecasted, but could hit 97 and 99 is not out of possibility

Literally all he does is read tweets. You can get the same shite here and not have to look at him or hear his annoying nasally voice.

I’m in the St. Amant/Galvez area. It’s just that that euro run scared the living shite out of me. 120mph gusts for a couple hours surely can destroy a roof and that’s what I’m now worried about.

I need to go to sleep, but I cannot quit watching these updates. People are going to be shocked when they wake up tomorrow. It’s sad the recon flights had issues today because people really would have benefitted from that information and time.
I pray for the safety of everyone who is in the path of this storm. Thankful for this board and the posters here. You all have helped, are helping and will help a lot of people just by your contributions.

There has just never been much in the way of a failure mode. There's nothing to slow it down.
It is hitting Dmax over the warmest waters it has seen, there is no shear, and it was able to wrap the eye in plenty of time.

First thing to do is take deep breath and stay calm. Figure out shite after you do that

I know it's stretch, but if you wanna hop in a car and head to Austin, then you have a place to stay.
