New Orleans | Hurricane Ida knocked out power to all of New Orleans and inundated coastal Louisiana communities on a deadly path through the Gulf Coast that was still unfolding and promised more destruction.
The heavy rains and tidal surge prompted a flash flood emergency on Sunday night (Monday AEST) in areas south of New Orleans, as a failed levee in the town of Jean Lafitte left up to 200 people in “imminent danger”, the National Weather Service said.
