WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – US President Joe Biden will visit the states of New York and New Jersey next Tuesday to see the damage done by Hurricane Ida, the White House has said.
On Friday, Biden visited the southeastern US state of Louisiana. The state’s city of New Orleans still suffers from power shortages caused by the hurricane.
Media report that rains and floods caused by the hurricane have killed 23 people in New Jersey, while in the state of New York the death toll is 15.
Ida made landfall as a Category 4 storm near Port Fourchon, Louisiana, bringing with it maximum sustained winds of 150 miles per hour. Incidentally, the destruction cyclone washed ashore on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated much of the US south in August 2005.
