Aug 30, 20211:59Now PlayingNew Orleans warned residents to stay indoors as fires burned out of control and more than a million homes and businesses were without power a day after Ida rolled ashore as a powerful hurricane.
The storm, which packed some of the most powerful winds ever to hit the area, drove a wall of water inland when it made landfall Sunday as a Category 4 hurricane about 60 miles (97 kilometers) south of New Orleans. As it lumbers north, Ida is unleashing a catastrophic amount of rain that could total 2 feet when all is said and done.
Ida struck Louisiana on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which was the costliest cyclone in U.S. history and left much of New Orleans in ruins. Now the area’s levees, pumps and other infrastructure rebuilt after that 2005 storm are being put to their biggest test yet, and the threat isn’t over yet as rainfall north of New Orleans flows back down the Mississippi River.
