Ida crashed onto the shores of Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane, on the anniversary of when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf region 16 years ago.

The storm, with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph, made landfall near Port Fourchon, Louisiana at 11:55 a.m. CDT on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. The Federal Emergency Management Agency said that the hurricane is expected to bring “catastrophic flooding to Louisiana and Mississippi.”

Ida was downgraded to a tropical storm on Monday morning and is expected to later become a tropical depression as it moves northeast over Mississippi and Alabama, according to the Associated Press.

Here are some images and videos that show the impact of Ida.
