Grand Isle, Louisiana's last remaining inhabited barrier island at the southern tip of the state, bore the brunt of Hurricane Ida and was devastated by the Category 4 storm's high winds, rain and storm surge.
"I've never seen it look like this," Bryan Adams, director of Jefferson Parish Fire Services, said Tuesday after inspecting Grand Isle. "It's decimated." About 40-50% of houses are gone and 100% of the camps are damaged. "They've been knocked off the pillars, they've just been destroyed," he said.More Related News
