Hurricane Ida made landfall in New Orleans, and did a lot of damage down there. Then it meandered cross country, over land, all the way to New York City. You would think after that much overland travel Ida would have weakened, a lot.
Well, the winds had died down but it still generated a lot of rain. Giving New York and New Jersey some spectacular floods. Killed something like 40 people.
The TV is blaming it all on "global warming". Right. We get hurricanes, and sometimes the hurricanes do a lot of damage where they come ashore. We have been getting hurricanes since forever. I don't think Ida was all the bad by the time it got to New York. Could it be that New York has been skimping on storm drains? And blaming the damage on "global warming"?
