Aug 30, 20218:02:06Now Playing(Aug. 30) New Orleans warned residents to stay indoors as fires burned out of control and more than a million people 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, the costliest cyclone in U.S. history that 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.
The full impact will begin to come into focus as the sun rises and residents get their first glimpse of the damage. Ida was downgraded to a tropical storm early Monday as it moved inland.
