    In all seriousness though, this is going to be bad

    Glad Fema and other agencies are already in place and ready to go in.

    Names of hurricanes that are especially powerfully destructive and deadly are retired. Hurricanes beginning with the letter I lead the list for most retirements. Ida will be added to the list.

    Hurricane Ida's 120mph winds and 'catastrophic' storm surge tear roofs off buildings and make the Mississippi River flow backwards: More than 750K people lose power including hospital where staff are now ventilating patients by HAND
    • Hurricane Ida reached the US mainland at 11:55am EST on Sunday, swamping the barrier island of Grand Isle as landfall came just to the west at Port Fourchon, Louisiana
    • Winds hit 150mph, with gusts of up to 165mph; The eye is 17 miles in diameter, bringing flash floods, thunder, lightning, life-threatening storm surges and tornados to areas along the Gulf Coast
    • Ida maintained Category 4 winds for about six hours after making landfall at around 1pm EST on Sunday before it weakened to a Category 3 hurricane, with sustained winds of at least 120mph
    • Port Fourchon is home to the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, the country's largest privately owned crude oil terminal; Energy companies halted the production of 1.6 million oil barrels as storm approached on Friday
    • Hurricane-strength winds extended 50 miles out from Ida's eye, forcing New Orleans to suspend emergency medical services as the storm crawled northwest at 13 miles per hour
    • New Orleans and the parishes surrounding the city have been placed under a flash flood warning as of Sunday evening. The warnings will remain in effect until at least 11pm EST
    • In Lafourche Parish, officials said their 911 line and the phone lines that service the Parish Sheriff Office have been knocked out; Local residents are advised to call 985-772-4810 or 985-772-4824
    • A generator in ICU of Thibodaux Regional Health System in Lafourche Parish failed, forcing hospital staff to bag and transport patients on life support to another wing of the facility where there was still electricity
    • Fears it could breach levees strengthened in the wake of Category 3 Hurricane Katrina, which devastated Louisiana and Mississippi 16 years ago on Sunday
