A 71-year-old man was apparently killed by an alligator while walking in flood waters from Hurricane Ida in Slidell, Louisiana, according to the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office.
Ida made two landfalls in Louisiana Sunday afternoon as an extremely dangerous Category 4 Hurricane. This is bringing storm surge, inland flooding, wind damage and isolated tornadoes to the Gulf Coast. Our weather will remain hot and mostly dry into the early week.
Hurricane Ida blasted ashore along the Louisiana coast on Sunday, with the eye of one of the most powerful storms ever tp hit the U.S. arriving near the barrier island of Grand Isle.
