[quote=Anonymous]Stonger, but smaller.  So bad from Baton Rouge thru New Orleans. Crushing to the industrial corridor. Katrina weakened before landfall. Ida strengthened. Katrina was a man made disaster due to levees breaking. Ida will be a natural disaster.

That northwestern path of Ida not only puts New Orleans more in the bullseye than it did in Katrina, but it also more targets Baton Rouge and crucial industrial areas, Masters said. He said Ida is forecast to move through “the just absolute worst place for a hurricane."

“It is forecast to track over the industrial corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, which is one of the key infrastructure regions of the U.S., critical to the economy,” Masters said. “You’re probably going to shut down the Mississippi River for barge traffic for multiple weeks.”

Meteorologist Steve Bowen, head of global catastrophe insight at the risk and consulting firm Aon, said the impact will be felt beyond coastal areas.
