Main Street in the Louisiana town of Houma resembles a canyon of rubble after Hurricane Ida
HOUMA, La. -- Main Street of this southern Louisiana town resembles a canyon of rubble after Hurricane Ida. Metal roofs peeled off buildings cover the sidewalks, and red bricks from a collapsed building mingle with big chunks of broken glass on a corner. A man cleaning up damage throws a piece of roofing from atop Mardi Gras Hall, a bingo parlor, and it lands with a thud. A block away, broken limbs from giant oaks make it all but impossible to walk across a once shady square. “It’s like a bomb went off and just blew off houses’ roofs, flattened trees, snapped them like matchsticks,” said Michael Cobb, taking in the destruction Tuesday from his front porch a couple of blocks away.More Related News
