Hurricane Ida

The owner of seven Louisiana nursing homes whose residents suffered in squalid conditions after being evacuated to a warehouse as Hurricane Ida approached last year was arrested on Wednesday.

Hurricanes, wildfires and floods: Across the country, climate change is driving more severe weather, and many schools are not prepared.

Ida's ferocious 150 mph winds decimated parts of Louisiana's electrical grid. At the height, more than a million homes and businesses were without power. The remaining 117,000+ are having to make do.

The president is scheduled to visit the region on Tuesday to survey the damage left behind by Ida. The storm killed at least 27 people in New Jersey and 13 in New York City.

Record-breaking levels of rainfall in New York City, parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania flooded roadways and affected travel throughout Wednesday evening into Thursday.

Some progress is being made three days after Ida made landfall, but the region's utility company, Entergy, faces a slew of obstacles in restoring power throughout the region.

The massive storm hit near the heart of Gulf oil production and refining, which will affect prices for a few weeks. But nobody expects the kind of price spike the U.S. saw after Hurricane Katrina.

Louisiana is beginning the tough task of recovery after Hurricane Ida swept through the state's coast and caused significant damage and power outages.

Hurricane Ida rapidly gained strength right before it hit Louisiana this weekend. Abnormally hot water in the Gulf of Mexico acted as fuel for the storm.

Ida blasted ashore Sunday as one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the U.S., blowing roofs off buildings and reversing the flow of the Mississippi River.

Four systems in the tropical Atlantic basin were being monitored by the National Hurricane Center, but none of them are likely to be a threat to Florida in the next five to seven days.
