It has been nearly three weeks since Hurricane Ida battered the southeastern portion of Louisiana. And while power has been restored to much of the region, in New Orleans, residents are still waiting for trash pickups to resume.
A Waffle House in Thibodaux was allegedly cited last week for staying open after curfew as they fed linemen in town working to restore power to the area.
Owner of the New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Pelicans franchises, Gayle Benson, will be donating $1 Million to Hurricane Ida relief efforts according to a team statement. With the future of the team's start to their NFL season uncertain, Coach Sean Payton and the Saints will have a challenging road to their Week 1 game against the Green Bay Packers.
As Tropical Storm Ida moves into the gulf and toward Louisiana, many are asking questions regarding the Saints preseason game scheduled for Saturday night.
