Power should be restored to New Orleans by the middle of next week, utility officials say.
The outlook was also bleak south and west of the city, where Ida's fury fully struck. The sheriff's office in Lafourche Parish cautioned returning residents about the difficult situation that awaited them — no power, no running water, little cellphone service and almost no gasoline.
But some people cannot wait for the power to come back, and a second evacuation is happening. New Orleans and neighboring Jefferson Parish continue to help people find shelters or connect with family members outside the heavily damaged areas. Louisiana’s health department said Friday that two dozen nursing homes have been evacuated from parishes hard-hit by Ida.
“The most dangerous part of a hurricane is after the storm,” said Entergy New Orleans CEO Deanna Rodriguez, who asked people to be careful around generators. ”Here it’s sadly happening again.”
