Aug 30, 20215:07Now PlayingTropical Storm Ida pummeled New Orleans and the Louisiana coast overnight with lashing rain and ferocious gusts, leaving much of the region without electricity and bracing for widespread floods.
The storm, wielding some of the most powerful winds ever to hit the state, drove a wall of water inland when it thundered ashore Sunday as a Category 4 hurricane and reversed the course of part of the Mississippi River.

U.S. gasoline futures jumped on Monday as the storm disrupted refineries and other oil-processing facilities.
