- Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana Sunday as a catastrophic Category 4 hurricane, bringing deadly weather conditions as it crossed over Southern Louisiana.
While the storm has weakened to a tropical storm and passed most of the state, damage assessment is just beginning as residents and parish officials begin recovery efforts.

I'm from shreveport and I've met many cajuns over the years. Most all of them were people of very good people. Certainly a different kind of people. A people of faith and strength. A people of fellowship and kindness. Eager to give and to help anyone in need. God bless them all.
That was a very sweet comment! I am cajun and very proud of my heritage. To think of how my ancestors got here and worked together along with people from other settlements who were from different countries, and having different languages… And then I see it now even in 2021, it always gives me chills! I remember the theater shooting in Lafayette. In most places, you would see people running away from the sounds of gunfire, but in Lafayette, you saw people running into the theater when they heard them…I love how the hero comes out of Cajun people during times of need 🤗🤗
Best reporter, great voice, interaction, personable, knowledgeable and quick on her Q&A. Exceptional woman/reporter!
And listens not sensationalizes
This young woman is a great interviewer; she asked great questions, things people want/would need to know.
Agree, but next time…pony tail.
Where are their mask?
@@everaydeliver 🤣🤣🤣🙄
I actually think she is terrible, doesn't even pretend to have a clue
@@xfhnhhgjbvcfg thats what you do on an interview genius.
She did a great job with the interview.
We use to have her over here in Mobile. She is a very good reporter.
This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen on a news channel. Succinct questions and highly informed answers - and now I know way more about this type of situation than I ever had before. Great job!!!
She's a smart reporter as you could tell she had been thinking ahead of time what questions she was going to get answered as there were no "well, aaa" or "could a" drawn out questions. She got right to the "meat" of the situation.
Yes- just quick info and you’re so right about the absence of ‘could’ questions. I hadn’t thought about that.🌸
As a familiar person with hurricanes in the USVI my prayers goes out to all. Wishing you well. May our Almighty Father be with you all. BE BLESS AND BE SAFE.
Gloria Joseph from st. Croix?
Very well spoken he should be on the national news to explain stuff
If he's in charge of the planning/rescuing, the people are in good hands. Experience during this is what will save lives. He's a good guy. 👍🏻
Your reporter was very good with her questions and her knowledge. Very professional
God Bless the people of Louisiana, keep them safe and comfort them.
Hey, look what good people do: they immediately start to clean the mess and rebuild the area
Yes but at some point, people in that area are going to have to move. It will be mostly uninhabitable in the coming decades. That's not to diminish the heart and intelligence of those working to rebuild, but climate change is going to make these storms regular events, well more regular than they are now.
@@hanaf1231 not true. Sorry lol.
Hurricanes dating back to the 1700’s were sometimes worse or equal to the ones today. Not much has changed whatsoever.
@@lawdadz4332 Yes silly me listening to scientists who are experts.
@UCu5kf8akQbAe5TiT9Gvs0Qg - you are such a brainwashed idiot. Take your climate change bs and shove it where the sun never shines.
@@lawdadz4332 - Hana F is a bot. 🙄
Prayers sent. Big thank you to everyone out there helping people. Stay safe!!!
The people who are out there with their own boats will know the area and conditions. The people waiting to be rescued don't care if it's a "professional" saving them. They want a boat. A huge salute to the "Cajun navy". Good people.
I am a proud anti vaxer. because no vaccine has ever eradicated or prevented disesase, we've just been brainwashed to think they do.. to get us to this day. one in fifty of our children now have autism... cancer,,,, diabetes... FROM vaccines! Anti vaxers are Aware and Informed.... Side effects are NOT proof of the shot working, they are proof that the body is responding to being POISONED. If a vial of vaccine is dropped and broken, a Hazmat team HAS to be called in for cleanup.. yet people INJECT this into innocent children!
We have over 1.7 million covid vaccine deaths now in the us alone,,, verifiable fact on vaers. Catherine Austin Fitts Planet Lockdown on rumble... if anyone wants to know exactly what's going on,,, and what's to come!
@@bluelagoon1875 Yes vaccines have caused problems but it's wrong to say it has never significantly relieved the effects of a disease or rid if from negatively affecting the population. Can you explain what happened to polio or small pox? Have you disregarded the parents who have kids that are free of those diseases because of the vaccines? The science exists that vaccines can assist s to an extent depending on the virus. You are free to be uncomfortable with taking the vaccines but do not spread false news that this scientific method is a lie.
@@TheTania323 False, YOu should get the FACTS, then post.
@@bluelagoon1875 kids had autism and cancer back in time too. Autism wasnt known what it is exactly..they called autistic kids dumb slow and degenarated instead. And cancer is with humans since we being 🤦🏼♀️ you really are uneducated what it okey to be, its on you.... just there is no point to spread your stupidty.
@@TheTania323 report his comment as hate speech. That will get it looked at least.
Nice to see a reporter ask all the right questions & for the responder to have them!
Both the reporter and FF did a great job! This would be a great example to include in a PIO class.
This young lady is an excellent interviewer/reporter.
God bless all our service men and women, journalists and people in need of help💙🙏🙏
Don't think I'll bless journalist they're a bunch of lying cretins. They can sink to the pits of hell for all I care.
Stay safe guys !!!
Well without journalism I wouldn’t be reading your repulsive comment so I guess you like the news more than you thought
@@prekrasnyymechtatel6156 the local reporters are the honest ones. They have the hunger to pursue stories. It’s the sell outs on the national stage, that is the problem! This younglady did a fine job.
@@lyndanorris they are journalists they are not God. They have distorted the truth and have led many people to think lies are the truth. They have manipulated people and if you're not aware of it that's on you.
She’s a great reporter!!
Who(name) is the reporter in this interview?!? She is PROFESSIONAL!!
A local reporter. She isn’t from a national network, so she doesn’t need to pretend to hold onto a light post to get ratings like the msm drama queens do 🤣
Is it ..Arsha? Staples?
Praying for these rescue workers!
Fantastic reporting! Looking to see more from her!
Great interview hats off to this young lady. 👏
GREAT INTERVIEW HATS OFF TO THIS YOUNG LADY 👏
Search and rescue... Gods speed boys! Stay safe ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great reporting, lots of incisive questions and surely helped inform those worried or concerned about the current situation.
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
You can say that again
Cry`pto is the new gold
Stocks are good but Crypto is better
I wanted to trade crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
Yeah sure,I heard Alot about investments with Mrs maria garcia and how good she is, please how safe are the profits
WOW!! Thank you for this. (Im in Montana, and I cant even imagine) Prayers for everyone there!! - THAT REPORTER DID AN AWESOME JOB!! 👏👏👍👍
Great interview 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺👍👍stay safe all.
Could someone answer a question I've had for YEARS - why don't they turn the electrical grid off in cities and areas whenever or wherever a hurricane comes ashore in the US. I'm here in Jamaica, we're always prepared, and yeah, the first thing our electrical company does here is turn the grid off islandwide - if power lines go down, and there's water on the roads it makes it extremely dangerous. Seems to me that downed live power lines create so many additional difficulties with everything else going on.....my best wishes that everyone comes through this terrible and dangerous time safely. Kudos to all the rescue teams out there...
In America, People would complain that they couldn't watch TV. That's why they can't turn off the power. Or, that's my guess.
No the problem is rich people. Rich people have underground power and don’t lose power. Only middle and lower class are affected by power problems in most situations (at least where I live on the gulf coast)
The power supply keeps the 99 water pumps on. These pumps are working constantly to remove water from the city-even when it’s just a normal rain shower. Check out the drainage in New Orleans wiki page, great info and visuals there.
Ida turned it off
Question makes no sense- people need power, and eventually underground electric will be the standard
Watching from Mobile Alabama. So sorry this happened to you guys. Unfortunately to familiar with hurricanes!
Solid reporter. 👍🏼
Good luck and God bless with your rescue efforts!!
What is the interviewer’s name? What is the official’s name? They are both excellent.
Libby...are YOU this reporter...using an alias? With all of the mediocre, sort of competent reporters in this world...we have this one...with all of these over-the-top positive comments. What is this? Are all of these from her? From someone who wants to promote her? I have never seen anything like this...but I do know that one person can post comments with a different name each time. Something is going on...because she is obviously even worse than most of these media people.
For all the judgemental people everyone can't get up and travel to places because of financial hardship
It costs a lot to properly respond to emergencies when you’re broke, so you do the best you can with what you do have.
Lava Girl, sorry. You are right. If you are struggling to put food on the table, you dont have $$ to get out when a hurricane comes through.
plus you notice always the end of the month when you are broke!
That reporter sure does have her "act" together. Good to view a no BS on screen news interview.
Oh going without and having to work will cut out all the bs for everyone
Yes, very impressive reporting work.
really? how about the total and complete BSof the hosptials being full of covid patients? they are full of VACCINE njured people... two million didn't survive,, and 8 million seriously injured. WAKE up!
@Lys Lys "Having one's act together" is an old, slang expression that compliments a person. Means she does a good job.
@@bluelagoon1875 do you always wake up this stupid or is this new for you?
So I guess those $14B levees are under warranty?😕
Snakes! Gators! Yikes!😨
Poisonous snakes at that.
Alligators are not scary. We have a houseboat in the Atchafalaya basin, and sometimes I bathe in the swamp. There is a 12 foot alligator who claims that area has his territory and he is usually no more than 10 feet away from me when I do this and he just stares 🤣
@@steviemichelle7271 Be careful one day he might wanna do more than just stare
@@steviemichelle7271 make sure he’s well fed because if not anything can happen.
Really enjoy the soft Cajun accent.
His accent is a New Orleans one… Not a Cajun one. But I do like it also
Ty for the update
Praying for all involved 🙏🙏
That first K9 officer is HYPER SLURRRPYYYY! :P
So Distracted by the Sheriff In the Boots. 🍫
He walked in front of camera on purpose! He knows he’s attractive and had to show us!
@@sylvia106 Okay by me!
The thumbnail is why I clicked.
Hell yeah me too!!!
I'm singing "I need a Hero" song. I don't know who sings it. From the 1980's.
Good interviewer! God Bless everyone Louisiana, I know Panama City (Michael), will be sending people and items. We know your pain. Stay patient, help is coming.
The sheriff in the beginning of the video can rescue me anytime. 🥰
Smh, he'll prob smash with the boots on 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Give this reporter Gal a raise, she's totally switched on! Rescue folks awesome work! Prayers out to every one every where!
I believe they said her name is Aisha. The reporter asked excellent questions while leaving out the hype.
Praying for Gods protection for all involved.
God gave them this for being such naughty boys in Afghanistan
The guy in the background with the helmet; just casually standing in the water with the pantlegs dangling in the water... good thing he didn't do the interview lol
Good reporter!!!
Don't ever sit and feel sorry for someone that's only a curse it's not your job to feel sad for anyone it's your job to bless them with love and understanding
This deserves an Emmy.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 for Louisiana ♥️♥️♥️Focus but that uniform was hugging him right🤦🏾♀️
I was thinking the same thing. The gun show was nice
He is definitely sexy- that accent! Yum
We all praying for everybody in Alabama . God bless all you and may he send help and comfort
Alabama?
What, Alabama?
In Alabama?
You mean Louisiana and Mississippi?
I was told to leave, but I didn't. I should have left. Man, the water has got high. We were told it would be 3 or 4 -- maybe 5 -- feet. No, it's gotten up to 12 to 15 feet around us. I live in a two story house, and everyone around me lives in one stories. Well, water came up too quick, and lot of people drowned in their house. Few got on top of house. But, others climbed into attic and couldn't get out. Everything here is destoryed. There is nothing left. Lot of dead bodies around here that died. This hurricane was worst ever. Very, very bad still, even.
lies
I can tell that this is a lie, "Lot of dead bodies that died" how can a dead body die???
I don't know where you are but they gave warnings about storm surge being up to 15 feet in the path of the hurricane. It is horrible that they died but warnings were ignored. I had friends who survived Katrina by luck because they had to climb into the attic of their homes and they were standing in water up there when it peaked. Another family was able to break a hole in their roof to climb out before it became completely submerged and spent the rest of the time clinging to some trees by their house. The most dangerous part of the hurricane is the storm surge which you are now aware of. Glad you made it because you did have elevation to go to.
Praying for you
Good thing the levies held.
This woman is a great reporter! 👍👍👍
Excellent job reporting, interviewing. Typically I turn away if the reporter can't get helpful and concise information out of a subject. She kept me here to the end.
Most of people are gonna be dead in Lafitte. He just doesn't want to say that. The waters came up soo fast and soooo quick. No where to run. I was lucky to live in 2 story ... that's why I lived.
Thank god, you’re ok. You better be grateful and help others if you can, friend.
@@sylvia106 Yeah, waters came up real fast, and I had to get out on top of my second story roof. That's how high the waters were. All other cars were underwater along with people's houses. You couldn't see nothing -- other than just a chimney or two, here & there. That's how much water it was.
Stay safe everyone praying for everyone be safe🙏🏼
"Cajun Navy .. arriving!"
Did the man say his name was Dino Banana?
Deano Bonano. Yeah, says on his shirt..
😂💕
@@sylvia106 I didn't make it that far I guess. It was just footage and the guy pacing by the flood water that insaw
So many people are judging those who stayed for the storm. Some people do not have money for fuel and a hotel room. Many people don’t even have a car. The minute a storm is announced and projected to hit your area, every hotel room in the neighboring states are booked. I am a paramedic. If I work a storm, I will pack an overnight bag and I will be on the clock to do my job for the people who stayed behind. I don’t want anyone to feel like they were “selfish“ because they could not afford to evacuate. Emergency responders are doing their jobs. If somebody does not have a car, I’m not going to call them selfish because they need my help 🙄
Save the animals too!!
There is a tree floating down the street.
southwest states, damn thats a lot of water
Instead of Oil pipe lines, the USA needs to build pipelines to the SW!If they leaked, no problem! WATER IS LIFE!!!!!
Highest it ever been . Katrina was the worst !! 😫 😳🙏
but not in that area
At some point people are going to get tired of working their asses off to help those who are unwilling to listen to reason. You were told ahead of time of this hurricane - why risk trying to ride it out??? GET OUT unless you physically can't. You are being SELFISH by staying.
It’s the end of the month. Some may not have the means to leave nor anyone to help them. Maybe they are not the selfish ones.
This is a rescue mission Americans should be. Most concerned about. climate change !!!
Our prayers for all dear people stay safe God bless u
Looks like the levees this time around kicked Ida to the curb! 😁
🤝🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I had no faith that they would hold. I am very happy i was wrong.
They broke..well one did
God have mercy on Louisiana. Keep safe and God be with you.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people in this area and around the state affected by this natural disaster. Prayers going up
I'm grateful for the responders , amazing to me how civilians who have been through Katrina and more , working beside the responders in past storms are now garbage, wtf?
Prayers from Trinidad
Send blessings of love and light to everyone And the angels will gather and protect everyone with our permission...
The water level is the highest it's ever been...
Just think Mr/Ms Denier it will be worse next time. And that's gonna be next month!
Why is that guy standing in the water & not on the dry road?
Damn them men walking towards the camera are FINE AS HELL
You are the 4th woman to make that comment
Very strange, during a terrible time, you clowns are commenting like that.
Desperate huh?
Rescue Hunks- everybody loves that sight!
@@jeaninemorgan9118 GET yo life. We are only saying it because 1. THEY WERE FINE AS WINE.
2. THE CAMERA WAS ON THE SCENE BEFORE THE NEWS LADY STARTED INTERVIEWING ON CAMERA. PLEASE WOMAN STOP "ACTING" LIKE WE ARE INSENSITIVE !!!! WE CARE MORE THAN U!! Plus I'm married, DAMN MY EYES STILL WORK. Desperate is NOT what I am. MIND UR OWN BUSINESS
@@lyndanorris THANK U SISTA!!!
Is it me or Katrina was worse
Why didn't they heed warning to evacuate? Instead of stressing the system!
be safe crews!
This is truly a horrible ordeal.
My beautiful home state born on Barksdale Air Force base. Praying
Keep up the good work with the levee system! Keep up inspections! Southerns don't like regulations but they are there for a good reason! Marylander here! Maryland has many ,many regulations but I am very happy to live in this wonderful state!!!!!!👍👍👍
It is so sad again. I just pray and feel for all the animals and people there.
A city below sea level + Hurricane equals flooding. Wow, Hoood of thunk it...
And they will continue to build there again!
BEST REPORTER!! Thank You! 🏆
Very professional interview
Last night I saw a post that posted about 1030pm from Lafayette. The news was asking for help cause a mom,dad and their 11 year old was stuck in the attic with water rising.
Why do people stay iin their homes during a hurricane?
People who know that their house is in a flood zone usually evacuate. My childhood home was the highest end of the neighborhood, so we stayed. Our neighbors down the road were a lot lower, so they always left. I live in my fiancé‘s childhood home, and it has never flooded since it was built in the 1950s, so we stay unless they are calling for a storm surge that has not been seen since before 1950. That would really be the only reason we would leave. You have to understand that when you are evacuating, all of the hotels in the nearby states are completely out of rooms. If you can’t get a reservation, you stand the chance of having to live in your car until they can clear the roads for you to get back, even if the roads were not bad where your house is, there’s a good chance that they will be covered in debris somewhere between you and home... most people, especially people with children and pets, cannot just live in their car for an unknown amount of time. Our neighboring states are also really hot. Being parked in a Texas parking lot for two weeks scares me a lot more than staying home for a hurricane
Who wrote the title 👀
Prayers sent 🙏
This is sad, the devastation from katrina hasn’t even been fully cleaned up and then they got hit with a cat 4. For anyone who doubts my statement hasn’t seen Louisiana before and after katrina. The whole area is still feeling the effects of katrina
No argument 🤝🏾♥️🙏🏾
@@Forsaken860 i was a kid when katrina came through. I lived near pensacola, and alot of people forget dennis and ivan, which came through the years prior to katrina. Had to sit through all 3. So glad i left Florida lmao
Something that could have been prevented, they knew to leave before the fact. God bless all emergency personal
Prayers 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Prayers for everyone 🙏
Watching from Florida 👀......fixin to put pontoons on the house...
Stay safe everyone!
TOO BAD THESE STORMS CANT TARGET POLITICIANS
When they do, some go to Cancun. Talking to you, Ted Cruz.
Lifting you all up in the Mighty name of Jesus that He shields and protects you and is your peace that passes all understanding!! He is faithful! Covering you with the blood of Jesus! Praying he keeps you miraculously safe! Won't stop praying!!! sending all my love and prayer! The Lord is with you! He is a very resent help in time of trouble!!!!!! He gives His Angels charge of you!!!
6 to 8 weeks...pos more. This is devastating! GOD BLESS......From Florida
oh how my heart felt prayers are with everyone in this disaster. LAFITTE IS A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE JUST ITCHING TO GET OUT AND RESUE THEIR NEIGHBORS, but please allow the authorities to make it safe for you before you venture out. We don't want any more loses. MAY THE LORD JESUS GUIDE YOU AND KEEP ALL YOU HEROS SAFE.
my little town got so messed up:( fortunately i was able to evacuate but i have no idea what i’m going home to.. if i even have one:(
