Hundreds of thousands without power in aftermath of Hurricane Ida

A gloomy prediction for residents in storm ravaged Louisiana, possibly weeks without power.

Hurricane Ida ravaged the region's power grid when it hit the Gulf Coast on Sunday.

The entire city of New Orleans as well as thousands of state residents remain in the dark with no timeline when the lights and the air conditioning will come back on.

Governor John Bel Edwards says 25,000 utility workers are in the state trying to restore electricity.

But his office admits the damage to the power grid is catastrophic.
