Where should you go to escape Ida’s path? As far north as possible, says Mississippi Department of Transportation public information officer Katey Hornsby on Saturday morning. “...(C)loser to the Delta and north Mississippi is a safe bet.” she said. “Today is the day to do it.” Hattiesburg and Jackson are both in Ida’s path, forecasts from the National Hurricane Center. Rainfall may be up to 10 inches for the coast, Jackson, and much of central Mississippi. Louisiana is expected to Ida’s worst winds and storm surge effects. Louisianans should evacuate westward. Ida’s eye is expected to make landfall in Louisiana late Sunday and move inland over Louisiana or western Mississippi into Monday. Harrison, Hancock and Jackson counties are all under a storm surge warning, hurricane watch, and tropical storm warning. (Source: Sun Herald 08/28/21)
