NOAA Doppler radar imagery indicates that the eye of Ida made a 
second landfall along the southeastern coast of Louisiana just 
southwest of Galliano around 200 PM CDT (1900 UTC). Maximum 
sustained winds are estimated to be 145 mph (235 km/h). The 
estimated central pressure is 934 mb (27.58 in).

Within the past hour, a research wind gauge near Golden Meadow, 
Louisiana, reported sustained winds of 70 mph (113 km/h) and a gust 
to 107 mph (172 km/h) and a Weatherflow site in Dulac reported 
sustained winds of 76 mph (122 km/h) and a gust to 104 mph 
(167 km/h).

The New Orleans Lakefront airport reported a peak wind gust of 
76 mph (122 km/h) within the last hour.

A NOAA National Ocean Service tide gauge in Shell Beach, Louisiana, 
recently reported a water level of 6.8 feet above mean higher high 
water, which is an approximation of inundation in that area. 

A NOAA National Ocean Service tide gauge at Bay Waveland Yacht Club, 
Mississippi, recently reported a water level of 5.6 feet above mean 
higher high water, which is an approximation of inundation in that
