[Track Hurricane Ida on The Weather Channel]
Hurricane Ida has intensified into a powerful category 4 hurricane. At 5 am, Ida was located near 28.0 North, 89.1 West, about 145 miles southeast of Houma, Louisiana. Maximum sustained winds were 140 miles per hour, and Ida was moving northwest at 15 miles per hour. A hurricane warning is in effect from Intracoastal City, Louisiana to the Pearl River (including the New Orleans area), and there are tropical storm warnings from Intracoastal City to Cameron, Louisiana and from the Pearl River to the Mississippi/Alabama border. The outer 
bands of Ida began affecting portions of the Louisiana coast Sunday morning, with landfall expected during the afternoon. With as much as 12 to 16 feet of life-threatening storm surge in portions of coastal Louisiana and up to 20 inches of rain, Ida has the potential to cause catastrophic damage. This comes on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the region in 2005.
