This should be some kind of a weekend. Emergency and health resources are already challenged to the max and along comes Hurricane Ida, sparking emergency evacuations. I don’t know what Hell is like, but Louisiana and Mississippi will do until the real thing comes along.
The @CityOfNOLA is issuing a mandatory evacuation for areas outside the levees (red) and a voluntary evacuation for the rest of the parish (yellow).#Ida could bring up to 11ft surge outside levees, and dangerous winds & heavy rain for the full area. pic.twitter.com/dkJuAkgKUC

I was just going to say, why not nuke the hurricane, but hey, ivermectin should work just fine. Why not?
Let’s just hope it’s not as bad as Katrina. Katrina didn’t happen with another crisis already in place, straining medical facilities and emergency personnel.
They’re saying it might be cat4 at the coast, then drop to cat3. Lots of rain and wind either way, so if you can get out, do it ASAP, and *don’t wait until Sunday*.
Also don’t wait for for a sharpie wielding A$$-Clown to change to course of the storm!
