A recent key story from Scientific American explains how Hurricane Ida got so big so fast, saying that “An eddy in the Gulf of Mexico and heavy vapor played key roles.” Really? Seems wildly improbable to me. Is this theory correct? Also, hurricane watchers were greatly surprised by how Hurricane Ida pushed so far inland, as historically, hurricanes were observed to greatly weaken upon making landfall. What was different this time?
