In Hurricane Ida's wake, search crews "trying to save lives" in Louisiana with over a million without power
CBSN
More than a million people are still without power in Louisiana and Mississippi after Hurricane Ida hit the Gulf Coast over the weekend. And more than 750 people are helping with search and rescue efforts -- with the extent of the damage still being uncovered.
Ida shredded rooftops and scattered debris in the coastal community of Grand Isle. On Monday, Coast Guard aircraft circled the island, looking for survivors as first responders across Louisiana did the same – reaching those still trapped in Ida's aftermath. "We're still in a search and rescue mode," Governor John Bel Edwards said. "We're not recovering yet. We're still responding and trying to save lives."More Related News
