Hurricane Ida made landfall at 11: 55 a.m. (Aug. 29) near Port Fourchon, La. Keesler AFB reserve reconnaissance aircraft and Doppler radar indicated Ida's maximum sustained winds at landfall were estimated to be 150 mph (a CAT 4 hurricane). Within the last hour, sustained winds of 43 mph were reported at Lakefront Airport in New Orleans. A NOAA National Ocean Service tide gauge in Shell Beach recently reported a water level of 6.4 feet above mean higher high water, which is an inundation of that area. A NOAA National Ocean Service tide gauge at Bay Waveland Yacht Club, Miss., reported a water level of 5.5 feet above mean higher high water, an approximation inundation in that area.
