Hurricane ida did that. what were seeing here is scared evacuees in the shelter here we talked to some of them. they know how to ride out category 1, 2, 3 hurricanes, but when you start talking about a category 4, that really changes the game here. they expected storm surge to be a concern, but when that storm, when the hurricane pivoted over this region, kept us in the outer eye-wall of hurricane ida, the relentless winds never stopped. we never got the break that we anticipate and that is why ...
