Hurricane Ida: the images of “catastrophic damage” in Louisiana – archyde

So Monday night over a million homes were still without electricity on Monday evening. And on the side of the human toll, at least two people were killed: the first by a fall from a tree in the town of Prairieville and the second while trying to cross a flooded road in New Orleans. A tragedy, therefore, for a Louisiana which is beginning to heal its wounds, and therefore the images of the damage show the violence with which Ida struck the southern United States.
