CNN
President Joe Biden headed to Louisiana on Friday to survey damage from Hurricane Ida, after almost a week of the deadly storm ravaging the eastern half of the United States.
The President is scheduled to meet with local leaders in New Orleans and then survey some of the storm's damage, after which he will speak to the press. He's set to take a late afternoon aerial tour of the hardest-hit communities and then will meet leaders in Lafourche Parish, where he will meet with local leaders. Since the Category 4 hurricane plowed through the Gulf Coast over the weekend, there have been at least five confirmed deaths tied to the hurricane in Mississippi and Louisiana. Entire neighborhoods were windswept, flooded and damaged.
