Thousands in US flee as Hurricane Ida bears down on Louisiana

"2021年8月29日 Tens of thousands of people are fleeing the US state of Louisiana as Hurricane Ida closes in from the Gulf of Mexico.

Ida is now a category four hurricane, one below the highest level, with up to 150mph (240km/h) sustained winds.

It is expected to make landfall on Sunday, bringing a ""life-threatening"" storm surge. Ida is likely to be stronger than Hurricane Katrina, which devastated much of New Orleans in 2005."
