LIVE – Ida’s remains cause tornadoes and flooding, historic state of emergency in New York

“SEVERAL DAYS” TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE

It will take “several days” to assess the damage caused by the passage over Louisiana of Hurricane Ida, which killed at least four people, warned the Entergy company on Tuesday, which distributes the current in part of the US state. .

“Now that Hurricane Ida has left the region, we are carrying out inspections on the system to get a clearer picture of what needs to be fixed,” the operator announced on his Twitter account. “The full assessment of the damage could take several days while many areas remain inaccessible,” he added.

Winds of 240 km / h and downpours flooded many parts of the state, uprooted trees, destroyed roofs or certain buildings. More than a million homes including those in the large city of New Orleans were without power Tuesday, according to the specialized site PowerOutage.US.
