Meteorologists are retiring the name Ida from the list of Atlantic hurricane names. Last year's Ida was the fifth costliest U.S. storm on record, causing $75 billion in damage and killing 55 people.
There's something about hurricanes starting with the letter I that is particularly nasty. Last year's Ida now joins the list of storms so deadly their names don't get used again.
Ida, a category four storm, caused about $55 billion in flooding damage and killed six people in Louisiana when it made landfall, but its heavy rains and flooding killed 49 people in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. It is the fifth costliest storm in U.S. history behind Hurricanes Katrina, Harvey, Maria and Sandy, all also retired, said National Hurricane Center senior hurricane specialist Daniel Brown, who is on the WMO committee that retires names.
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."We had more category 4 and category 5 landfalls in the USA from 2017 to 2021 than from 1963 to 2016," National Hurricane Center Director Ken Graham, chair of the WMO committee, said in a statement.
There have been nine C and F named storms, said University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy who tracks retired names.
