Hurricane Ida reminds me very much of Hurricane Sandy back in 2012. These systems rarely get up to New York of New Jersey... but Sandy wreaked havoc in those areas mainly due to the rain. It's usually not the destructive Cat 4 winds we get in the tropics or over in the Gulf... but the rain creates its own damage.
