#HTE

New Orleans, Louisiana and the surrounding region experienced major damage and a city-wide power outage this morning after it was struck by Hurricane Ida last night. Ida’s 150-mph (230-kph) winds ripped roofs from structures and even reversed the flow of the Mississippi River, which is seen on the left of this Overview. Roughly half of New Orleans is at or below sea level, making it particularly vulnerable to flooding between the banks of the Mississippi and Lake Pontchartrain.
