President Joe Biden participates in a briefing about the response to damage caused by Hurricane Ida, at the St. John Parish Emergency Operations Center Friday in LaPlace, La., as Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, left, and White House senior adviser Cedric Richmond listen. Exactly sixteen years later to the day Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana, Hurricane Ida, a Category 4 storm with 150-mph winds, made landfall in the state – and a viral claim says that's not the only time the 29th day of August has brought disaster. Over a dozen deaths due to flooding and carbon monoxide poisoning were also reported in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. In Louisiana, officials launched an investigation into the deaths of four nursing home residents who evacuated to a warehouse as Hurricane Ida approached. Three of those deaths were related to the storm. More than 1 million homes and businesses in the state — adding up to more than 2 million residents — were out of power after Ida devastated the electric grid, leaving all of New Orleans in the dark. #hurricaneida #biden #potus #louisiana
