Hurricane Ida's death toll continued to rise, days after the monster storm slammed into Louisiana
Ida slammed into Louisiana on Aug. 29 as a powerful Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 150 miles per hour . The latest death toll there rose to at least 13 people on Sunday.
"The human toll was tremendous," said Hochul, recounting a trip to East Elmhurst in the New York City borough of Queens to assess the devastation. New York had 17 confirmed deaths, four in suburban Westchester County and the rest in New York City, where nearly all the victims were trapped in illegal basement apartments that are among the last remaining affordable options for low-income residents in the area, the governor's spokesperson said.
Cars sit in water after flooding on the Major Deegan Expressway spilled over into the neighboring street and flooded a parking lot, when the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida brought drenching rain and the threat of flash floods and tornadoes to parts of the northern mid-Atlantic, in the Bronx borough of New York City, U.S., September 2, 2021.
Other storm deaths were reported in Connecticut with at least one dead, Pennsylvania with at least four dead and Maryland with at least one dead.
