The levees, floodwalls and floodgates that protect New Orleans held up against Hurricane Ida’s fury, but costly upgrades to the city's flood protection system couldn't spare some neighboring communities from the rising water.

Louisiana hospitals in Hurricane Ida's path have been forced to evacuate dozens of patients after the storm tore away parts of their roofs, sent water leaking inside and left facilities relying on generator power.

“This is going to be a long recovery for the state,“ Todd Terrell, president of the United Cajun Navy, said.

Ida weakened to a tropical storm early Monday as it continued through Louisiana and Mississippi, bringing damaging winds and flash flooding.

Ida continued to make its way through the southern U.S. on Monday after making landfall as a hurricane and leaving a trail of destruction in its path.

City government says power knocked out to all of New Orleans as Hurricane Ida pummels area.

A Louisiana fire station captured surveillance video of surrounding roads being submerged as Hurricane Ida roared across the state.

Hurricane Ida made landfall Sunday, 16 years after Katrina hit the state costing more than a thousand lives and billions of dollars in damages.

Hurricane hunters released new images inside the eyewall of Hurricane Ida as it made landfall Sunday.

All arriving and departing flights were canceled at the airport in New Orleans ahead of Hurricane Ida’s landfall on Sunday.

Ida could be a major Category 3 hurricane by the time it finally reaches the U.S. coast as the area prepares to mark the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s landfall.
