SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
Hurricane Ida, currently located over the north-central Gulf of
Mexico will continue northwest and make landfall as a major category
4 hurricane early Sunday afternoon on the Louisiana coast. The area
will be impacted by high winds, heavy rainfall, and possible
tornadoes, tonight through Tuesday. While some of the initial
rainbands may produce tropical storm force wind gusts early Sunday,
more widespread storm impacts will start along and south of the
Highway 84 corridor early this evening, spreading northward overnight
and into Monday. The storm is expected to move northward and slow down
before turning more north-northeast, resulting in the potential for
prolonged heavy rain and increased flash flooding potential across the
region.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* WIND:
Protect against dangerous wind having possible significant impacts
across central Lousiana and southwest Mississippi. Potential impacts
in this area include:
- Some damage to roofing and siding materials, along with damage
to porches, awnings, carports, and sheds. A few buildings
experiencing window, door, and garage door failures. Mobile
homes damaged, especially if unanchored. Unsecured lightweight
objects become dangerous projectiles.
- Several large trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater
numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Several
fences and roadway signs blown over.
- Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban
or heavily wooded places. A few bridges, causeways, and access
routes impassable.
- Scattered power and communications outages, but more prevalent
in areas with above ground lines.
Also, protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts
across the remainder of south and central Mississippi, southeast
Arkansas, and northeast Louisiana.
* FLOODING RAIN:
Protect against life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible
extensive impacts across portions of central, eastern and southern
Mississippi. Potential impacts include:
- Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and rescues.
- Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in
multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches may
become dangerous rivers. Flood control systems and barriers may
become stressed.
- Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple
communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed
away. Many places where flood waters may cover escape routes.
Streets and parking lots become rivers of moving water with
underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become dangerous.
Many road and bridge closures with some weakened or washed out.
Protect against dangerous rainfall flooding having possible limited
to significant impacts across northeast Louisiana and the northwest
ArkLaMiss Delta.
* TORNADOES:
Protect against a tornado event having possible limited impacts
across Central Mississippi, Northeast Louisiana, and extreme
Southeast Arkansas. Potential impacts include:
- The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the execution
of emergency plans during tropical events.
- A few places may experience tornado damage, along with power
and communications disruptions.
- Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, chimneys
toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned,
large tree tops and branches snapped off, shallow-rooted trees
knocked over, moving vehicles blown off roads, and small boats
pulled from moorings.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
Now is the time to check your emergency plan and emergency supplies
kit and take necessary actions to protect your family and secure your
home or business.
When making safety and preparedness decisions, do not focus on the
exact forecast track since hazards such as flooding rain, damaging
wind gusts, storm surge, and tornadoes extend well away from the
center of the storm.
If you are a visitor, know the name of the county or parish in which
you are located and where it is relative to current watches and
warnings. If staying at a hotel, ask the management staff about their
onsite disaster plan. Listen for evacuation orders, especially
pertaining to area visitors.
