The entire city of New Orleans is without electricity after Hurricane Ida roared into Louisiana Sunday, downing transmission lines that deliver power to the city. The storm also resulted in the death of at least one person.
Ida made landfall in southeast Louisiana around noon Sunday as a Category 4 storm near Port Fourchon, Louisiana, which is located around 60 miles south of New Orleans. With maximum winds of 150 mph, trees were uprooted and power lines were downed throughout the region.
Ida hit New Orleans on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the storm that destroyed levies and forced thousands of residents to relocate due to flooding.
President Biden declared Louisiana and Mississippi major disaster areas – actions that free up federal relief.
More than 1 million customers in Louisiana and 100,000 customers in Mississippi were without power Monday, according to PowerOutage.us.
