precautionary/preparedness actions...

Final preparations to protect life and property should be
completed before conditions deteriorate. The onset of gusty winds
and heavy rains can cause outside activities to become dangerous.
Secure loose outdoor objects which can be blown around. If you
live in a Mobile home... leave it for more substantial shelter.


... Winds...
as Tropical Storm Ida approaches... sustained tropical storm force
winds are expected to begin late this evening. Minor damage may
occur to older Mobile homes. Residents should move loose items
indoors... such as garbage cans and outdoor furniture... as they
will be blown around. Newly planted or Young trees and shrubs may
be uprooted if not secured properly. Isolated power outages will
be possible.

... Storm surge and storm tide...
tides are currently running 1 to 2 feet above normal. Tides will
continue to rise and should be 2 to 3 feet above normal this morning.
These high tide levels may lead to some Road closures by this
afternoon. Minor storm surge flooding of 3 to 4 feet can be
expected outside of hurricane protection levees from this
afternoon 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.
