Does "had no bearing on" mean "had no relation with"?
Context:
The mammoth and merciless storm made landfall near Atlantic City around 8 p.m., with maximum sustained winds of about 80 miles per hour, the National Hurricane Center said. That was shortly after the center had reclassified the storm as a post-tropical cyclone, a scientific renaming that had no bearing on the powerful winds, driving rains and life-threatening storm surge expected to accompany its push onto land.

The fact that Sandy is no longer "Hurricane Sandy" does not change the fact that the winds are just as strong as they were before. My power just came back on and the wind still sounds like a train out there so I can attest to the truth of that statement.
