The World Meteorological Organization said that it's retiring the name “Ida” from its list of Atlantic hurricane names. Ida caused $75 billion damage in the U.S. and killed 55 people. Flooding from its remnants hit Philly, the suburbs and New Jersey hard.
After sloshing through Tennessee, Ida’s fury hit the Northeast with record rainfall and tornadoes. Newark, New Jersey, got 8.4 inches of rain, the most ever in a single day, smashing the old record by 1.5 inches. New York City got rain falling at more than 3 inches per hour.
The WMO has retired 94 hurricane names in the Atlantic because of a storm’s deadly history and 12 of them started with the letter I. No other letter is even close. Remnants from Ida led to historic flooding across Philadelphia, including Manayunk and Center City. NBC10's Danny Freeman takes a look at the continued cleanup effort.
