Sunday also marked the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's destructive landfalls in Louisiana and Mississippi, reports Xinhua news agency.
People in Louisiana woke up to a monster storm after Ida’s top winds grew by 45 mph (72 kph) in five hours as the hurricane moved through some of the warmest ocean water in the world in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
A total of 2,461 people were reported to have evacuated on Friday Ida strengthened from a tropical storm to a Category 1 hurricane on the one-to-five Saffir-Simpson scale of intensity, reports Xinhua news agency.
