Meteorologist Hannah Lisney at the National Weather Service office in Slidell said Baton Rouge could see winds from Ida in the range of 75 to 110 mph.
"Hurricane force winds are very, very possible," Lisney said. The National Hurricane Center on Friday afternoon said it expected Ida to be a Category 4 storm at landfall, with winds above 130 mph. Lisney said the status wasn't out of the realm of possibility as the storm churns over the warm Gulf of Mexico waters, she added.
"Hopefully it will keep moving quickly so it doesn't intensify into a Category 4," she said.
Keim said Baton Rouge recorded two 91 mph wind gusts from Gustav and sustained winds in the low 60s.
"There were trees down all over the place," Keim recalled, adding that he was without power for nearly two weeks. |
