Hurricane Ida makes landfall as strong Category 4 storm

Hurricane Ida ripped through Louisiana on Sunday, August 29th, making landfall as an "extremely dangerous" Category 4 storm with sustained winds of 150 mpg and leaving a wake of destruction. Ida then churned inland, bringing catastrophic winds, heavy rainfall, and tornado watches, along with the danger of flash and urban flooding, plus a life-threatening storm surge along the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Ida's landfall coincided with the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall in 2005. It ties Hurricane Laura (2020) and the Last Island Hurricane (1856) as the strongest to ever hit Louisiana.

Affected children and families are in need of immediate aid. World Vision is rushing truckloads of critically needed supplies to the area, working closely with our local partners to reach the most vulnerable. Your gift will help deliver resources like tarps and tents, generators, cleaning supplies, and more.
