Hurricane Ida left around one million Louisiana residents without power as it ripped through Orleans Parish, home to New Orleans. At its peak on Sunday, it was classified as a Category 4 hurricane, prompting mandatory and voluntary evacuations for thousands of Louisianans. At least one person has died in the hurricane’s wake.

People in the hardest-hit areas could experience power outages for weeks, power company Entergy said Monday.
