Hurricane Ida has grown from big to big AppleAfter only 72 hours after destroying most of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast of Louisiana, the wreckage of Ida arrived in New York City on Wednesday night.
The storm that followed the Tennessee Valley and Appalachian Trail eventually reached the east coast of the United States, causing a tornado in Annapolis, Maryland and Philadelphia before passing through New York City. The rain in New York City was too heavy, and cars and people were reportedly trapped in the water.

Since Tropical Storm Elsa and Tropical Storm Henry have already hit New York City, the city has experienced the second-longest summer on record. Just nine days ago, Henry attacked New York City. Now, the third time this summer is Ada.
For anyone keeping a score, Florida will only experience one tropical storm system in 2021: Tropical Storm Elsa in June.
For New Yorkers, dealing with tropical storms is very rare.Mayor of new york Bai Sihao Tell residents to stay indoors and avoid any areas that may be disturbing in the next few hours.
De Blasio told Cheryl Wells, the anchor of the “New York 10:00 Live”: “If you start to go out, please turn around and go back. Now you are in a safe place, but it’s raining amazingly.” “It’s really pretty. fierce.”
The city was also under tornado watch until 1 am local time. The tornado warning expired at 9.30pm. The city is still under the flash flood warning, which means that if the rains continue, floods may become extremely dangerous in a short period of time.
The storm developed in the Caribbean last week and turned into a first-degree storm when it passed through Cuba last Friday. Even after entering the Gulf of Mexico, it was still a Category 1 storm until it became a Category 2 storm on Saturday night. Early on Sunday morning, it quickly developed into a Category 4 storm with wind speeds of 130 mph and clear eye walls. At around noon on Sunday, it made landfall in Port Fulchion, Louisiana, at a wind speed of 150 miles per hour, and then slowly meandered over southeastern Louisiana.
Ida traveled from Morgantown to Slidell, soaked the southeastern coast of Louisiana, and then headed east into Biloxi, Mississippi. By the early hours of Monday morning, more than 1 million electricity customers were out of power.
The storm caused the collapse of a bridge in Lucerdale, Mississippi, killing two people. Ada continues its path of anger in Mississippi. In Tennessee, Ada caused more dangerous floods, even though it had been downgraded to a tropical depression by then.
It spawned a tornado on Wednesday in Baltimore County, Maryland. It gave birth to another in Philadelphia on Wednesday night.
Now, New York City is pouring heavily and the wind is relatively strong.
The storm is expected to pass through the city and into the states of New England overnight.
