2
00:00:06,381 --> 00:00:11,720
Over the past week, Hurricane Ida has caused intense flooding and destruction

3
00:00:12,929 --> 00:00:15,890
from the Gulf of Mexico to New England, and is blamed for several fatalities. 

4
00:00:27,777 --> 00:00:30,739
The storm made landfall in Louisiana on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

5
00:00:38,246 --> 00:00:41,207
NOAA satellites monitored the progression of the storm as it developed and intensified.

6
00:00:46,129 --> 00:00:49,090
Ida quickly developed into a hurricane over a period of three days from August 25 to 27. 

7
00:00:53,261 --> 00:00:56,848
After making landfall on Cuba’s Isle of Youth as a Category 1 hurricane, Ida made its way  northward.

8
00:00:59,726 --> 00:01:02,687
On August 29, Ida rapidly intensified to a Category 4 hurricane.

9
00:01:10,153 --> 00:01:13,114
NOAA’s “hurricane hunters” flew through the eye of the storm collecting additional data.

10
00:01:24,918 --> 00:01:27,879
Unusually warm ocean temperatures, atmospheric moisture, and low wind shear contributed to the rapid intensification.

11
00:01:33,301 --> 00:01:36,262
Hurricane Ida is tied with Hurricane Laura of 2020 for strongest sustained winds for a hurricane in Louisiana.

12
00:01:40,934 --> 00:01:43,895
GOES East tracked the movement of Ida as well as the storm’s lightning.

13
00:01:49,567 --> 00:01:52,529
JPSS satellites measured atmospheric and sea surface temperatures,

14
00:01:56,449 --> 00:01:59,410
and revealed the structure of the storm. 

15
00:02:06,209 --> 00:02:09,170
 They also highlighted widespread power outages caused by the hurricane.

16
00:02:13,591 --> 00:02:16,553
As Ida traveled northeast from Louisiana it dumped rain on large sections of the eastern U.S.

17
00:02:24,269 --> 00:02:27,230
The storm caused fatalities, damage, and severe flooding in New York and New Jersey.

18
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:43,371
NOAA satellites will continue to monitor the genesis, evolution, and impacts of storms throughout the hurricane season.
