PHILADELPHIA - Remnants of Ida are expected to bring heavy rain to the area later this week after the storm left a wake of damage in Louisiana and Mississippi Sunday and Monday.
Ida weakened to a Tropical Storm Monday morning after knocking out power to the entire city of New Orleans and left at least one person dead.
Rescuers spent Monday in boats and helicopters trying to reach people trapped by floodwaters, while utility crews worked to restore power.
Ida made landfall on the same day 16 years earlier that Hurricane Katrina ravaged Louisiana and Mississippi, and its 150 mph winds tied it for the fifth-strongest hurricane to ever hit the mainland.
