Catastrophes in Alabama

Ida Makes Landfall
11/11/09 10:18 AM

Ida made landfall the morning of November 11, 2009, as a tropical storm near Mobile, Ala. Ida quickly weakened a few hours later, but did not lose its ability to drop drenching rain. Soaking rain from Ida spread from Alabama into Georgia and then into Carolinas. Several daily rainfall records were set, while flash flooding ensued in Alabama. Gusty winds associated with Ida also downed trees across northern parts of Georgia and Alabama. At this time, most of the claims are concentrated in the Georgia county of Gwinnett and the Alabama county of Jefferson specifically the cities of Birmingham, Alabama and Lawrenceville, Georgia.
