Ida’s Impact: See videos, warnings being shared on social media of Category 4 storm - KPRC Click2Houston

The message for people in the area of Hurricane Ida... stay put. Several more hours of dangerous winds are ahead.

I count 4 mesovortices rotating around the outer portion of #Ida's eye, evident in the low cloud field. And the eye is now *completely over land*! I don't think I've seen this before with a storm over land. #GOES16 pic.twitter.com/34i1ovISZp

One more scary closeup of #Ida coming ashore in Louisiana. The eye is remaining clear of high clouds, another sign that the storm is maintaining its strength. Also note the big convective blowup east of the eye, on shore. From #GOES16 pic.twitter.com/lfurwABpAp

The National Weather Service Office in New Orleans warns the wind speed is extreme and people should not venture out. The Louisiana Highway Safety Commission also told people to stay off the roads. Curiosity could put people in danger and cause unnecessary issues for first responders.

3:15 p.m.: The eye is showing a more elliptical formation with multiple vortices. This an enhanced risk of damaging winds. The Extreme Wind Warning is still in effect. Stay safe and hunker down. #lawx #mswx pic.twitter.com/IJMsJKw3gy
