Ida is on her way out but it will be remembered for a century

From the system was a TD, it started pelting unbelievable rain on those islands it touched in the Caribbean. From Louisiana to New England, we're talking loss of human life and billions of dollars in damage.
Some of us knew this was going to be one for the record books.

Take care folks - it's the aftermath that costs the most lives.
Pay attention.
And watch out for all those lemons posing as second hand cars in a few weeks.

Hurricanes used to fizzle into regular storms by the time they got very far inland. I wasn't expecting to see what was on the news this morning. A storm traveling across half the country and still causing so much death and destruction.

I don't know how these weather events can't wake people up to climate change.
