Ida made landfall at 150 mph near Port Fourchon, La., on Sunday, now it's headed to New Orleans on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
Hurricane Ida made landfall Sunday near Port Fourchon, Louisiana as a dangerous Category 4 storm that was nearly strong enough to be a Category 5 hurricane. Ida has catastrophic winds, dangerous flooding and a life-threatening storm surge. Ida's winds reach 150 mph before landfall, and the swath of damage will likely reach from central Louisiana all the way to Biloxi, Mississippi.

The storm slammed the U.S. Gulf Coast on Sunday, August 29, 2021, exactly 16 years after Katrina hit the same area of Louisiana and Mississippi.Hurricane Ida quickly went from a Category 2 storm packing 105 mph winds overnight to a Category 4 storm with sustained winds of 130 mph, in just more than an hour of observation by the hurricane center.
The governors of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama had each declared a state of emergency in advance of Ida's landfall, and several parishes in southeast Louisiana were under mandatory evacuation orders. The city of New Orleans, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina, did not order mandatory evacuations as its mayor said it was"too late" by Friday night.
