Looks to be true.

I've hit 100 several times this summer. But my thermometer isn't out in a open field, either. Whose is - in the city anyway?TXWeatherMan wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 9:41 amLooks like chances of reaching 100 might be done for the summer too. At least I hope so.srainhoutx wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 9:33 am

The city of Houston has gone 365 days with temperatures below 100 degrees. The last time the temperature reached 100 degrees was on August 29 2020 (101 degrees). #houwx
So did Houma end up taking a direct hit? Honestly that damage in the vid doesn’t really appear too bad. I’ve seen way worse. It might have gotten worse after that though.tireman4 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 10:02 am Hurricane Ida Houma LA

Houma is 59 miles to the northwest of Port Fourchon. The storm made landfall at 12:55 p.m. as an "extremely dangerous" Category 4 storm with 145 mph winds at Port Fourchon, Louisiana.Cpv17 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 10:57 amSo did Houma end up taking a direct hit?

Houma was scraped by the western eyewall. Area around Grand Isle was hit the worst. Galliano took a direct hit. The eastern eyewall was largely over swamp and lakes (Lake Salvador) until it got to Kenner and LaPlace (western NOLA burbs) 7-8 hours after landfall. NOLA missed the eyewall so most of the central levees were space. Lake Pontchartrain overflow. Lafitte and John Lafitte had levee problems near eastern eyewall. Very bad, could have been far worse if NOLA took a direct hit. Power will be out for days, though.tireman4 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 11:00 amHouma is 59 miles to the northwest of Port Fourchon.

Speaking of Grand Isle....wasn't expecting that west jog overnight Sunday but overall not a bad call from Thursday evening. I haven't calculated distances yet but I'm pretty sure it's a decent mark closer than where the NHC was at the time. I'll get to it in my own post-analysis.
