Gulf Coast braces for Sunday arrival of Hurricane Ida, potentially a..
Category 4 storm!
After slamming Cuba twice in less than 24 hours, Hurricane Ida is expected to pummel Louisiana on Sunday, forcing evacuations in New Orleans and the surrounding coastal region.
Scary stuff...

Ida made landfall earlier today as a Category 4 storm and kept that status for hours as it moved northward into Louisiana.
Category 4 hurricanes have sustained winds between 130 and 156 mph, while Category 3 storms have sustained winds between 111 and 129 mph.
The center of the storm is now located 30 miles southwest of New Orleans.
While the eye will pass west of New Orleans, conditions there will deteriorate rapidly in the next few hours as higher winds arrive, along with torrential flooding rain.
Catastrophic storm surge, extreme winds, and flash flooding continue in portions of southeastern Louisiana.
