Ida Just a Tropical Depression
November 10, 2009
At 8:30 Tuesday morning, Ida was downgraded to a tropical depression near the North Escambia area. Ida made its landfall as a tropical storm about 5:40 Tuesday morning at Dauphin Island, Alabama. Data from NOAA Doppler radar and surface observations indicate that the center of Ida made its second landfall around 7 a.m. just to the northwest of Bon Secour Alabama.
Maximum sustained winds were at 35 mph with higher gusts. Ida has lost tropical characteristics and its winds are expected to slowly diminish during the next day
or so.
Ida was located about 40 miles west-northwest of Pensacola this morning, the last advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center.. Ida is moving to the northeast near 9 mph. This general motion with a turn toward the east is expected until it
becomes absorbed by a front on Wednesday.
There’s still a chance of more rain today, but most will be drizzle. By tomorrow, Veterans Day, we can expect sunny skies and a high in the upper 60’s.

William….Do you ever sleep? Man, your coverage is unbelievable! Updating the stories throughout the night! Your site is #1 because of you! Thanks for all you do for our area!
Well wear said when ida first come about we wouldn’t need to worry bout anything I told my hunny its to soon he shouldn’t say that and now look were ida is fixin to be
I , like most of ya’ll , believe the news stations are way over doing a “topical storm”. Now a 2 -5 hurricane I can understand. Stick with William!
praying for my home town family & friends
Channel 5 is updating WAY too often…I went home for lunch and they had a 12:00 update…12:15 update…12:30 update…12:45 update…etc…
What on earth could possibly change in 15 minutes that is news worthy…in fact, they kept basically telling the same “news” over and over…hurricanes and tropical storms just don’t travel that fast…top of the hour coverage is quite sufficient!!!
Unlike this website…WE can chose to come here any time we want and William is all over the current conditions!!
This web site is more reliable and less hysterical than TV. Remember the channel 3 guy who said that Ida would hang a bat turn in the gulf and head east. So much for WEAR.
I get my info here.
william you do a excellent job. your the best thing for us on the north end of the county,i get up every morning and turn on the computer to see what has happend in the night . i never worry because william is here.keep up the good work.
William as usual you are doing a excellent job . I think that you are doing better than the local TV broadcasters.
