Hurricane Ida: Louisiana parish destroyed by heavy rain and 150mph winds

Louisiana Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser has vowed to do “everything” he can to help the state rebuild after seeing the destruction of Hurricane Ida firsthand.

The official posted a video on social media passing through the area of Plaquemines Parish, where he witnessed abandoned and destroyed homes, flooded roads and fallen debris.

“I will do everything I can to help our people get back on their feet and in their homes. It’s time to get to work,” Nungesser captioned the video on social media.

“Stay strong, Louisiana.”
