Ida Knocks Out Power in New Orleans as Hurricane Batters the City
The city of New Orleans went dark Sunday night as the city took a destructive pounding from Hurricane Ida. The city’s only source of only power is now coming from generators.
“Due to catastrophic transmission damage, all of Orleans Parish is currently without power,” said a message from Entergy, the city’s power utility, around 7:30 p.m. CT Sunday evening.
Ida made landfall as a Category 4 storm on Sunday with maximum sustained winds of about 150 mph, just short of the Category 5 threshold.
