winds are expected to begin late this afternoon and continue into
Tuesday morning. Minor damage may occur to older Mobile homes.
Residents should move loose items indoors... such as garbage cans
and outdoor furniture... as they will be blown around. Newly
planted or Young trees and shrubs may be uprooted if not secured
properly. Isolated power outages will be possible.
... Storm surge and storm tide...
tides are currently running around 2 feet above normal due to
persistent east winds. Tides are expected to rise to 3 feet above
normal by this afternoon. These high tide levels may lead to some
Road closures by this afternoon. Minor storm surge flooding of 3
to 4 feet can be expected outside of hurricane protection levees
and in areas around lakes Pontchartrain and Maurepas from this
afternoon through Tuesday morning as Hurricane Ida moves through
the coastal waters of Louisiana and Mississippi. Some non elevated
homes in these areas may experience flooding. Minor to moderate
tidal flooding of property and perhaps some flooding of low lying
roads may occur during high tide.
