Ida is now gone, but it leaves behind a trail of devastation

Ida is now gone, but the devastation it has left behind is affecting millions of people from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast. Here's a look at how it impacted several states.

But although it weakened after that, the storm continued to churn steadily north, wreaking havoc in its path. Remnants of Ida hit the Northeast on Wednesday night in what is being called a historic weather event, battering the states of New York and New Jersey. And wherever it went, this monster storm brought with it powerful winds, flash floods and tornadoes. Right now, Ida is off the coast and gone, but flood warnings and advisories continue in the wake of the catastrophic rainfall and flooding in the region.
