Thus far Tuesday, in Louisiana, hundreds of thousands of businesses and apartments still lack power and above half of the gas stations in 2 main regions were out of fuel even after 9 days of Hurricane Ida that has destroyed the state, collapsing electric lines, and vandalizing apartments.
Continuing recovery indications were also ramping up when inhabitants without power have reduced from the threatening figure of more than one million. Moreover, there were also recovery signs present that demonstrated hundreds of thousands of Americans have restored their water.
At the same time, the health regulators of the state stated that they are canceling the licenses of around 7 nursing homes that left a storeroom where 7 people lost their lives due to the worst situation after hurricane Ida.
