We're starting to get a clearer look at the damage caused by Hurricane Ida along the Gulf Coast.

Along the Gulf Coast, time is so often measured by Hurricane Katrina. But Ida, a category 4 storm that made landfall Sunday, was determined to leave her mark on Louisiana as well.

The wrecked vehicle was discovered in Gulf Shores, authorities said.

As Hurricane Ida headed into the Gulf of Mexico, a team of scientists was closely watching a giant, slowly swirling pool of warm water directly ahead in its path.
