Ida is expected to make landfall exactly 16 years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards is warning residents in the path of Hurricane Ida to take the threat very seriously, saying meteorologists expect it to be historically massive.
“This will be one of the strongest hurricanes to hit anywhere in Louisiana since at least the 1850s,” the governor said. He urged residents who wish to flee to do so as soon as possible, saying “your window of time is closing.” National Weather Service meteorologist Benjamin Schott said Friday that Ida “will be a life-altering storm for those who aren’t prepared.”
