I infer it was not as bad as it might have been.

It's tough to get a realistic assessment in "the news".

Scientists detail role of climate change in Ida's intensity | TheHill

This is a confusing story, it claims we won't get more storms, but more serious hurricanes, and then says this year we've had more storms.  And the ACE numbers are not up globally.  I get that warmer ocean surface temperatures should produce more intense storms, but as yet, over the years, there is no clear trend line in that direction.

We'll know in about a week. Too soon.

They key is that most, if not all, of the USACE levees held up. Other local ones did not.

Power loss is the biggest thing now.

I'm no expert, but the ocean temp raising a half a degree doesn't seem like a big deal for producing storms or hurricanes or anything

I'm not hearing much about it at all, which is bad news IMO.  They're having a tough time getting in to certain areas, and that's not a good sign.

We'll definitely know a lot more in another week.  Too soon right now.

It's not the temperature directly, but the heat, and water contains a large heat capacity.

We're catching an outer band of Ida here, some rain, blustery winds, it's kind of amazing really that a storm can weaken overland over hundreds of miles and still pack a noticeable punch.  Obviously, it's nothing like the real thing.  Baby.
