The storm system that was Hurricane Ida, which pummeled Louisiana on Sunday, combined with a stationary frontal zone over the northeastern US on Wednesday evening and made for a flash flood disaster. The intense and sustained rainfall rates set all kinds of records for the area with the featured chart presenting hourly maximum precipitation reports for Newark, New Jersey. Two mind blowing aspects of the chart are the distance the new record value is above the second highest value and that the following hour is also found on the top 10 listing!
