Global New News Desk  –  

Hurricane ‘Ida’ with a speed of 240 km has hit the state of Louisiana in the United States. Meanwhile, the city’s electricity connection to New Orleans has been completely cut off. Only generators are running in the city. U.S. President Joe Biden has warned that Ida is “terrible.”

The wind speed was 150 miles per hour or 240 kilometers per hour when the storm hit the city. Those who have remained in the city without going to the shelter have been asked to take shelter safely.

In the meantime, news is being received that a man has died after a tree collapsed.

A flood protection system has been set up in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina killed 1,600 people in 2005. Hurricane Ider will be a test of that system.

U.S. President Joe Biden has said Aida could be “deadly”, fearing a lot of destruction along the coast.

More than 7.5 million people in the state of Louisiana are now without power, Mr. Biden says it could take weeks to restore power.

Ida has hit America by saving energy from the Gulf of Mexico.

It struck New Orleans as a Category 4 hurricane on Sunday – a storm that  expected to hit buildings, plants and power systems.

But now it has weakened and turned into a Category-3 hurricane.

Elsewhere, storms have raised sea levels by up to 18 feet, flooding coastal lowlands.

BBC correspondent Nada Tawfiq says New Orleans is now a scary city, dark all around, with debris in various places, trees on the roadside. Shelter has become a part of life for them.
