Aug 30, 20211:46Now 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.

All of New Orleans was without power when evening fell on Sunday. As Ida moves north, it’s expected to unleash as much as 2 feet (61 centimeters) of rain.
