The Remnants of Ida and the Mullica Hills Tornado 
Presented by Dave Radell, Ph.D.

9:55 a.m. – 10:20 a.m.

After initially making landfall as a Category 4 hurricane in Louisiana, Post Tropical Depression Ida left a path of damage across the northeast, from tornadoes to the catastrophic river and urban flooding. There were many meteorological and hydrological ingredients that combined to create the severe weather, heavy rainfall, and devastating flooding that occurred during the afternoon and evening of September 1, 2021. The track of Ida right over the heavily populated northeast I-95 metropolitan area coupled with other larger-scale features only exacerbated the impacts. The presentation will cover several perspectives of the storm, with special emphasis placed on impacts from southern NJ into New York City.
