Hurricane Ida is expected to make landfall along Louisiana’s coast over the weekend, which also marks the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
Ida is expected to bring winds as high as 140 mph (225 kph) when it comes ashore late Sunday.
“This will be a life-altering storm for those who aren’t prepared,” National Weather Service meteorologist Benjamin Schott said during a Friday news briefing with Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards.
Several voluntary and mandatory evacuations have been issued for Louisiana’s coastal communities. Late Friday, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said the storm escalated in intensity so quickly that it was no longer possible to issue an evacuation for the entire city as such a move would require turning all lanes of some highways into evacuation routes.

“Time is not on our side,” said Cantrell. “Our time for even implementing contra-flow, we don’t have the time to do so.”
