According to Reuters, the hurricane made landfall in Louisiana on Sunday and slammed towards the state from the Gulf of Mexico.
New Orleans was still without electricity almost 24 hours after Hurricane Ida smashed into the Louisiana shore, precisely 16 years after Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc on the city.
