Hurricane Ida slammed into the Louisiana coast as a strong Category 4 storm with sustained winds of 150 mph. Heavy winds, torrential rains, tornadoes, and major storm surge have battered many communities.
The damage is still being assessed but as the storm moves north it leaves a path of destruction in its wake. There are thousands of families without power, drinkable water, medical supplies, safe shelter, and access to food.
Recovery from the storm of this magnitude could take years. Please chip in to each of the charities that are ready to provide relief to hard hit communities.
