Preparations should be completed. Remain alert and stay inside.


... Winds...
the latest area forecast is for maximum winds of 30 to 40 mph
with gusts to 50 mph to develop this evening and continue through
early Tuesday morning. Continue to closely monitor the forecast
for any significant changes and be ready to act. Minor damage may
occur in older Mobile home Parks. Newly planted trees and shrubs
may be uprooted if not secured properly. Weak tree branches may
snap. Residents should move unfastened items... such as garbage
cans and deck furniture... indoors.

... Storm surge and storm tide...
tide gauges around Lake Pontchartrain are already reporting water
levels of 3 feet above normal. Storm surge flooding of 3 to 5
feet can be expected outside of hurricane protection levees from
tonight through Tuesday morning as Tropical Storm 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.
