Tracking Hurricane Ida's damage: Roof-ripping wind, trees leveled in south Louisiana

© Provided by WWL Radio New Orleans

Hurricane Ida slammed headlong into Louisiana on Sunday afternoon, and it had no intention of leaving quietly.

After strengthening rapidly throughout the day Saturday, the storm remained at Category 4 with winds topping 130 mph well past 5 p.m., with impacts for much of south Louisiana expected to linger into Monday morning.

That intense wind led to predictable damage, ranging from sheared-off roofs to uprooted trees, torn signs and much more.

Scroll through the feed below for a look at some of the high winds and damage from Sunday afternoon.

Neighbor who evacuated had a window to their house blow open in the storm. Another neighbor who lives across the street ran over with a power drill to close it off. #NewOrleans #AlgiersPoint pic.twitter.com/753BILzQWJ

Here’s a look that collapsed structure of near Decatur and Toulouse (via @WWLTV). Unclear exactly what it fell off. Reports indicate there were no injuries. #HurricaneIda pic.twitter.com/8Y7Yj2hf3w

Really tough to get a look at how things are developing out in the Grand Isle area. All the traffic cameras in the area appear to be out or deactivated. But here's one live feed (https://t.co/5VDATwRiWy) showing the intense surge/winds as the storm nears landfall. pic.twitter.com/PlbxWFRZpP
