Compiled at 4:30 AM EST, 6 November 2009 -- Hurricane Ida has degraded to Tropical Depression Ida as a result of its interaction with land. Ida is expected to produce total rainfall
accumulations of 5 to 7 inches along the coasts of eastern Honduras and Nicaragua
and the islands off the coast of Nicaragua with maximum amounts of 12 inches
possible. Maximum rainfall
accumulations of 15 to 20 inches are possible over regions of elevated terrain
in Honduras and Nicaragua. These
rains
could produce life-threatening flash floods and mud slides. The
National Hurricane Center is predicting that Ida will return to
Tropical Storm status after reentering the western Caribbean, where Ida
is forecast to move northward and pass over Cancun.
Ida is then forecast to move into the Gulf of Mexico where, by
Wednesday morning it is forecast to be located 250 miles west of
Florida and 250 miles south of Alabama. The Hydrometeorological Prediction Center seems to be giving a nod to a Mississippi, landfall based on its 5 Day Quantitative Precipitation Forecast.
Computer
simulations should
not be used for emergency guidance. For
emergency guidance follow the advice of your local emergency management
agency and your local National Weather Service office. Flooding is taking place in portions of northeast South Dakota, southeast Missouri, central east Iowa, central to western Illinois, east Texas, western and northern Louisiana, and southern, and northeast Arkansas. Heavy precipitation is forecast for eastern Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, northern Florida and central and western North Carolina from the 9th to the 11th. From 4 to 6 inches of precipitation is forecast for western Washington and northwest Oregon the next five days. There is a moderate risk of fire over the Florida panhandle, southern Mississippi, southern Alabama, southern Georgia, and northern Montana the 6th to the 7th. We have updated our State's Uniform Crime Reports pages to include the recently released 2008 data. We've contacted various agencies and crime research organizations to ask about the drop in "Motor Vehicle Theft" reported in the FBI's Uniform Crime Report. So far no one has suggested an explanation for the 13% drop in reported vehicle thefts nationally. We are not aware of a similar drop in any category of the national crime statistics before this. Most States rate fell by double figures, one State's rate dropped over 32%, and a few States increased slightly. This begs the questions Why?
