Last year’s hurricane Ida, the fifth costliest U.S. storm on record, now joins the list of storms so deadly their names won’t get used again. Ida caused $75 billion in damage in the U.S. and killed 55 people.
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.
