    So terrible. Emerged very fast, no time for full evacuation. Also they can’t evacuate hospitals in the area—nowhere to go. Everybody else is full because of the influx of Covid patients. Yes, flatten the curve wasn’t a permanent solution but the crisis it creates was/is real.https://twitter.com/JimCantore/status/1431564741219135490 …

    Waking up to dual hot towers on #ida rotating around each other. Deep convection around the center on opposing sides is usually a classic signal for rapid intensification. Ida will likely be a very dangerous Cat4 at landfall. Finish all preparations today. pic.twitter.com/mLEzudTLKW

        Here we are, #ida is already category four, with one of the most rapid intensifications on record. Became a tropical depression only on Thursday. This is terrible for the region.https://twitter.com/BMcNoldy/status/1431953807722745859 …

        #Ida is close to becoming the fifth Category 5 hurricane to ever make landfall in the continental U.S. Three days ago (26Aug 15Z), the 1st advisory was written for TD9. History has shown that this is what these super-rapid intensifiers do, and Ida's rate would even surpass these. https://twitter.com/BMcNoldy/status/1431271764370227207 …

        Tornado season is just around the corner. What happens if a real monster hits an area already inundated with COVID-19 patients? How will those folks get treatment when the hospitals are full? Going back to work by Easter dramatically increases the likelihood of that happening. https://twitter.com/Ella__Dorsey/status/1242657398734704640 …

        I’m reminded of what happened to hospitals during Katrina and pray for Louisiana.

        After Katrina they were supposed to “harden” hospitals and care facilities somewhat. Things like moving backup generators out of reach of flood water. Did anyone check how much of that work actually got done?

        This was actually incredibly well predicted and the warning cone hasn’t changed in over 5 days. It’s still tough to evacuate any area, especially in southern LA. But let’s give mets some credit - this has been predicted since Tuesday.
