New Orleans issued Mandatory evacs for all areas outside levy system.

That's a mandate I can agree with.

Dropsonde just found a 76 mph gust at the surface that's not even in the eyewall. I think that basically confirms that Ida hasn't really weakened over Cuba.

I don't think Cuba will barely dent that. The size is already huge.

 Quoting: M R E


They said the same thing with Katrina. With Katrina though the track changed overnight which probably did limit their ability to evacuate. This time, I don't think this excuse is justified. They just don't have a plan to evacuate New Orleans. I think that's the truth of the matter. After all these years, they still haven't figured it out, and they have blown all of the money the city was given post Katrina.

Here's the plan they developed for people who can't self evacuate - wonder why they aren't following it?

What's an Evacuspot?
During a City-Assisted Evacuation, you can use an Evacuspot to catch a ride to the Smoothie King Center. From here, you will be transported out of the city. Evacuspots are in various locations around the New Orleans area, and are represented by a large, steel statue of a waving man. Below is a digital map showing the locations of Evacuspots.

Hey Gemini….I’ll be riding it out right around from you in St Tammany. This will be our first big major Cane.

Just made my last run through. Long gas lines or it’s gone. Thankfully topped off yesterday. I’m in some FB “Mom” groups and ladies on there are scrambling trying to find water, bread and gas. It’s going to be a big hot mess.

CHALLENGES IN A CATASTROPHE: EVACUATING NEW ORLEANS IN ADVANCE
OF HURRICANE KATRINA

The initial evacuation from New Orleans in advance of the
storm went relatively well. Approximately 1 million people left the greater New Orleans area in a much more efficient and
orderly manner than in hurricane evacuations of years past.

Then, so to speak, the wheels came off. Those without
access to transportation out of the region found themselves
stranded, high and dry, but only in the figurative sense. Among those left behind were thousands of elderly, disabled, and disadvantaged residents.

A central purpose of this hearing is to learn why the
responsible government agencies failed to make adequate
arrangements for those who needed help with transportation or
who were too ill or too frail to leave on their own. Why did so many buses sit idle? Why weren't trains used? Why weren't those in hospitals and nursing homes made more of a priority?

They must be too busy with their Nazi covid mandate plans to focus on what they are supposed to be doing. Here it is from the official state of Louisiana evacuation plan:

During Phase 3, beginning 30 hours before tropical storm winds are anticipated to strike the Louisiana coast, evacuation begins in areas of the eastbank of the Mississippi River in the New Orleans metro area that are within the levee
protection boundaries, but vulnerable to a slow moving category 3 and category 4 or 5 storm. When authorized, Contraflow lanes will be implemented and
highway route restrictions will apply during this period.

So where do they go?
 Quoting: Remedial_Rebel


West

You shouldn't have to go far to get OUT of the cone. North and west. Just 100+ miles or so ought to be enough to save your life.

Nachitoches, lake Arthur, Alexandria....


EDIT to add: Just heard the Weather Channel guy say I-10 is WIDE OPEN.

If you go tonight, you can drive pretty easily. WEST, then north on 49 to Alexandria.....prolly far enough away from the core.
