The effects of Hurricane Ida

The Hurricane has left 1 million people in the state of Louisiana without power. The damage caused by the hurricane keeps piling up on a daily basis. Ida had devastating effects, especially in and around South Orleans. Fears of storm surges make the cities along the coast most vulnerable.

With a new season about to start the Saints are refrained from practicing in their own stadium due to the effects of the hurricane Ida. The Saints are to practice in their interim grounds until week 5 of the season.

Due to Ida, the Saints had to cancel their preseason match against Arizona Cardinals. And had to shift to the AT&T Stadium for training sessions offered by Jerry Jones the owner of Dallas Cowboys. We sincerely hope that the Hurricane which has disrupted and devastated the people of Louisiana ends soon.

The league is encouraging fans to text IDA to 90999 to donate $10 to American Red Cross Hurricane Ida Relief or go to redcross.org/donate.
