A massive search and rescue operation in the US state of Louisiana is underway, as the devastation from Hurricane Ida comes into view.
Around 5000 troops are combing through the streets, looking for people trapped in flooded properties.
At least one person has died in the freak storm, with the state's governor John Bel Edwards "fully expecting" the death count to surge.
Ida slammed into Louisiana on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which killed 1800 people.
