It's windy and rainy along parts of the U.S. Gulf Coast, but there aren't reports of serious damage from what's left of Tropical Storm Ida.
It came ashore in Alabama early this morning before losing tropical storm strength.
One man on Alabama's Dauphin Island says the only harm done is from power outages.
Forecasters say most of the heavy rain is over and tropical storm warnings have been discontinued.
The storm had shut down nearly a third of oil and natural gas production in Gulf as oil companies evacuated workers ahead of Ida. But demand for energy is so low due to the economic downturn, energy prices have barely budged.
Overnight: Mostly clear with an overnight low of 10°. Wind chill as cold as -3°.
Wind: Northeast, becoming east 2 to 8mph
Wind: East 5 to 15mph Sunday Afternoon: Partly sunny and breezy with highs around 34°. Wind chill as cold as 21°.
