Subject: ⚠️ Hurricane Warning issued for coastal LA

AlertsUSA Logo - Allow Images
SMS Alert Text:

Hurricane warnings issued for LA from Intracoastal City to the Mouth of the Pearl River, incl Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Maurepas, and New Orleans. See email.

Supplemental Info:

The NHC forecast explicitly calls for rapid intensification during the next 24 to 36 hours, which is supported by several of the dynamical models, the LGEM model, and high probabilities of rapid intensification indicated
by the SHIPS and DTOPS RI guidance.

In addition to the expected increase in strength, the dynamical model guidance again calls for Ida's wind field to expand while it moves over the Gulf of Mexico. As a result, there is higher-than-normal confidence that a large and powerful hurricane will impact portions of the northern Gulf coast by late this weekend and early next week.

There is a danger of life-threatening storm surge inundation
Sunday along the coasts of Louisiana and Mississippi within the
Storm Surge Warning area. Extremely life-threatening inundation of
10 to 15 feet above ground level is possible within the area from
Morgan City, Louisiana, to the Mouth of the Mississippi River.
Interests throughout the warning area should follow any advice given
by local officials.

Traffic and Road Conditions

As is being widely reported through mainstream media, the potential for dangerous flooding with a coastal hurricane impact is high. As a result, increased situational awareness is advised if you or family members are heading out on the roads in the coming days.

National 511 System

The 511 system is a national traffic information resource established by the U.S. Dept of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The system allows drivers in participating states/cities to dial “511" on their phones and receive real-time traffic information, such as:
  • Road closures
  • Accidents
  • Route detours
  • Weather alerts
  • AMBER alerts
  • Border crossing wait times
  • Highway conditions
  • Ride-sharing details
  • Live camera feeds
35 states currently participate in the 511 system.

When in a participating state, simply dial "511" on your mobile device. Depending on the time and system load, you will either hear recorded messages or speak directly with a human operator who can provide traffic information.
