The effects of Hurricane Ida in Louisiana were destructive and widespread. Hurricane Ida made landfall exactly 16 years after Katrina near Port Fourchon, Louisiana with winds of 150 mph and a pressure of 929 mbar. It tied Hurricane Laura and the 1856 Last Island hurricane for the strongest hurricane to make landfall in Louisiana in terms of wind speed, and was the second strongest hurricane to make landfall in terms of pressure, only behind Hurricane Katrina.

Impact

Severe damage was recorded across the coastal areas of Louisiana, including in New Orleans, Golden Meadow, Houma, Galliano, LaPlace, and Grand Isle.^[1]^[2] In Houma, whiteout conditions were recorded, with flying debris and many houses damaged or destroyed.^[3]^[4] Wireless services were knocked out temporarily.^[5] An urgent flood warning was issued for Braithwaite when one of the levees was overtopped.^[6]^[7] In Galliano, many homes were destroyed, trees were uprooted, cars overturned and power lines brought down.^[8] The Lady of the Sea General Hospital in Galliano was damaged, losing a significant amount of the roof.^[9]^[1]

Significant damage was recorded in the French Quarter in New Orleans, including destroyed roofs and building collapses.^[1] The historic Karnofsky Shop collapsed.^[10] Nearly all of New Orleans lost electricity due to major damage to transmission lines, while about 1 million people throughout the state were left without power.^[11] Two drowning deaths were reported including a man who drowned in New Orleans after attempting to drive his vehicle through floodwater.^[12]^[13]

One of the ferries used on the Lower Algiers-Chalmette route across the Mississippi River broke free of its mooring during the hurricane, drifted up the river, and then ran aground.^[14] One of the sections of the Gulf Outlet Dam was overtopped by the storm surge.^[15] The USGS recorded the Mississippi River near Belle Chase flowing in reverse due to the volume of the surge.^[16]^[17] The St. Stephen Catholic School in New Orleans lost its roof.^[18]

An anemometer in Grand Isle recorded a gust of 148 mph (238 km/h) before being destroyed.^[19]^[20] In Prairieville, a man was killed when a tree fell on his home during the hurricane.^[12]^[21] An anemometer in Port Fourchon recorded a gust of 172 mph (277 km/h) when Ida came ashore.^[22]

Major damage was reported in Jefferson Parish.^[23] Four hospitals in the state were damaged, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).^[24] On August 30, insured damage was estimated to be at least $15 billion.^[25] Eight feet (2.4 m) of water overtopped the Jefferson Parish levees.^[26] Entergy shut down the Waterford Nuclear Generating Station due to off-site electrical power being lost. Separate energy from emergency diesel generators was used to maintain safe shutdown conditions. The lowest level of alert, "unusual event", was issued. There were no reports of significant equipment damage.^[27]^[28] On August 31, 2021, a 71-year-old man was presumed dead after being mauled by an alligator while walking through floodwaters in Slidell.^[29]^[30]

Aerial photos and footage was released, which showed large-scale destruction, debris, and flooding throughout affected areas.^[31]^[32] On August 31, a 24-year-old man was found dead in Uptown New Orleans. The cause of death was assumed to be carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. The next day, in the same city, 12 people, including 7 children, were hospitalized due to CO poisoning. Three additional CO poisoning deaths were reported on September 2 in Jefferson Parish.^[13] In nearby St. Tammany Parish, nine people were hospitalized from the same cause.^[33]

Grand Isle was rendered uninhabitable. 10 to 12 breaks in a levee led to 100% of structures being damaged, with 40% being completely destroyed, or being rendered as just debris piling, and electricity was rendered unavailable. Days after the storm, over a million people were still without power.^[34] The island was covered in about 3 feet (0.91 m) of sand as well. The police station was affected, with the roof being torn apart. The chief, Scooter Resweber, called it the "most severe hurricane" he had ever experienced.^[35] A St. James Parish man was killed after his backyard shed fell on top of him during Hurricane Ida's heavy winds.^[36] Four storm-related deaths were also reported in Tangipahoa Parish among nursing home residents evacuated during Hurricane Ida.^[37] As a result of power outages one person died in New Orleans due to heat exhaustion and another person died from a lack of oxygen in St. Tammany Parish.^[38]^[39] One person also died after falling from a roof while making damage repairs.^[40]
