A weakened but still powerful Hurricane Ida was slowly making its way north into south-central Louisiana early Monday, pummeling the region with heavy winds and rain, a dangerous storm surge and flash flooding, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

More than a million homes and businesses had power outages statewide, including the entire city of New Orleans. There were reports of people being trapped in homes. Some levees were breached. Emergency communications lines went out in some spots. Boil water advisories were issued for some communities.
