Hurricane Ida slams New Orleans, air travelers stranded
Sixteen years to the day since Hurricane Katrina ravaged Louisiana, the entire city of New Orleans is again without power.
Hurricane Ida came ashore as one the of the most powerful storms ever to hit the US mainland, blowing roofs off buildings and leaving at least one Baton Rouge resident dead.
It even reversed the flow of the Mississippi River.
The Category 4 storm has left about one million without power.
It made landfall with up to 170-mph winds but has since downgraded to a Category 1 storm.
Ida disrupted hundreds of flights across the south with Southwest and United Airlines cancelling all services.
Dozens of passengers were stranded at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and were forced to hunker down inside the passenger terminal.
