Hurricane Ida, which in a span of about 24 hours broke apart from a Cat 2 hurricane to a Tropical Storm to a Tropical Depression, is now less of a wind event, and all about the rain.  Flash flood warnings are in effect all up through the South,  from Alabama north to Virginia and beyond.

Being based in Miami, I tend to cover a lot of these type of stories, as Florida gets hit by a lot of the hurricanes and tropical storms that strike the US.  The days are long, wet, and dreary, typically.  In hurricanes, even worse:  no power, sometimes for 100 miles in all directions.

Not the case with Ida.  Really a “boring” storm, from our point of view.  Not even all that much rain where we were positioned, at Ft. Walton Beach, Florida.  But the Atlanta-area is expecting more than 4 inches of rain.
