New Orleans got hit by another storm, 16 years to the day after Katrina. It looks like it's bad, but not as bad as expected at this point, so that's good.

"
Hurricane Ida knocked out power to the entire city of New Orleans, hours after blasting ashore as one of the most powerful storms to ever hit the U.S., New Orleans government officials said.

The city's Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness said on Twitter that energy company Entergy confirmed that New Orleans has no power, and that the only power in the city was coming from generators. The message included a screenshot that cited "catastrophic transmission damage" for the power failure.

The National Weather Service said Ida, which came ashore as a powerful Category 4 hurricane, had weakened to a Category 3 storm with top sustained winds of up to 115 mph as its eye moved west of the city."

It was expected to hit land as Cat 4, and it really hit as Cat 3 is what I meant. I have no doubt it was still serious.

 

Before the storm they were talking about how this would be the worst storm since 1860 something, now? They are talking about the amount of rainfall. It would be terrible to be there without power, some people lost their homes, etc. I'm not arguing with you. That's different than the worst storm in living memory though.
