Iran Press/ America: The death toll from Hurricane Ida was expected to climb "considerably," Louisiana's governor warned Monday, as rescuers combed through the "catastrophic" damage wreaked as it tore through the southern United States as a Category 4 storm.
Ida made landfall in Louisiana on Sunday as a Category 4 hurricane, killing at least four people. More than a million were left without power, and the state's power provider warned that residents be in the dark for more than three weeks.
Governor John Bel Edwards Tuesday that officials are "doing everything" to restore electricity "as soon as possible."
New Orleans was still mostly without power nearly two days after Ida slammed into the Louisiana coast as a Category 4 storm, exactly 16 years after devastating Hurricane Katrina — which killed more than 1,800 people — made landfall. 219
