Large Tree Uprooted by Hurricane Ida’s Winds Topples Onto Home While Woman Asleep in House – Damage Scenes Across Louisiana (VIDEO)
Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana as a monster Category 4 storm Sunday afternoon.
Four mesovortices were rotating around the outer portion of Ida’s eye.
“I don’t think I’ve seen this before with a storm over land.” NOAA scientist Dan Lindsey said.

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. #GOES16pic.twitter.com/34i1ovISZp

As of Sunday evening, Hurricane Ida was downgraded to a Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds up to 125 MPH.
Louisiana residents were told to shelter in place immediately: “Go to an interior room or a small room with no windows and stay put during this time.”
One woman didn’t seem to have a care in the world and was napping as Ida made landfall.
A large tree uprooted and toppled onto her home while she was sleeping.
The woman was not injured.
