good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. we begin with hurricane ida. it has weakened to a category one, but not before causing extensive damage. ida has killed at least one person in louisiana after making landfall as one of the strongest hurricanes ever to hit the u.s. ida crashed on to shore as a category four yesterday near port faushon. it knocked out power leaving at least one million customers in the dark. ida packed winds of up to 150 miles per hour. ele ofhidi right off.d idli surge in southeast louisiana. these before and after clips show just how fast the region flooded in roughly one hour. michael george is in new orleans with more on the destruction. michael, good morning. >> reporter: anne-marie, good morning. ida has weakened, but the danger

to people is still very real. this morning people in new orleans are dealing with rising floodwaters, a city-wide power outage, and a 911 system that has shut down. >> oh, my god. >> reporter: ida's powerful winds blew the roof off this hospital as it made landfall in lafourche parish, louisiana, sunday. the storm came ashore as a category-four hurricane.acy 16r katrina hit the region. packing winds of up to 150 miles per hour, it's tied as the fifth strongest hurricane to hit the u.s. >> the storm was total devastation to our area. >> reporter: jean lafitte mayor tim kerner told wwl they're trying to get boats to reach people trapped in their homes now that the eye of the storm has passed. >> you can't -- you can't look left, right, back or front without seeing high water. >> reporter: further south in and is, 40 people defied a mandatory evacon and rode out the storm.

>> first responders cannot get to you. so those folks are just going to have to hunker down. >> reporter: here in new orleans, the entire city lost power after all transmission lines were down. still, officials remain confident that the changes they made since katrina could prevent a repeat of the disastrous results we saw 16 years ago. >> now is the time that we have been preparing for. >> reporter: the city spent $14 billion upgrading its levee system to handle storms such as ida. the national hurricane center says ida will continue producing heavy rainfall today throughout the southeast. >> around that center area, some areas 10 to 20 inches of rain. >> reporter: president biden approved emergency declarations for louisiana and mississippi. and right now more than a million homes in louisiana are without power with no timeline as to when things could be restored. it could take days to weeks in

new orleans. michael george, back to you. >> michael, you mentioned something that i was thinking about was in 2005 and hurricane katrina and those levees. i know there was a lot of concern about whether or not the levees would be able to handle a storm of this magnitude. it seems like things held up well. >> reporter: so far they have. officials had said before the storm they were confident that despite the fact that ida in many ways is stronger than katrina, the renovations and the strengthening of those levees would hold. the real test will be in the coming hours as the storm surge and floods continue to build. so this storm is still technically not over yet. >> michael george in new orleans, thank you so much. so hurricane ida will continue to move inland today, as you heard. cbs news weather producer david parkinson is tracking what is next for the storm. good morning, anne-marie. it is an improving situation in

southern louisiana, but there's a whole lot of inland places that are going to be dealing with a lot of rain. look at the storm. we are now about 18 hours since landfall, and it's actually holding together fairly well. ida will continue to move inland, but look at all that rain now moving into inland mississippi and also well east of the center. an exceptionallyas storm. you're not seeing all that much by way of new orleans. you're basically done with the rain. look at the rain in biloxi moving on up toward hattiesburg and into central mississippi. meanwhile, look at how much rain we've had. this has delivered on the flooding numbers. 12.3 inches south of hammond. 13 in la place. it drops off quickly to the west, baton rouge, an inch of rain. new orleans, over eight inches. in spots exceeding a foot and into mississippi, 7.5 inches so far, and more on the way. as we move into the afternoon, the storm is into central mississippi. it's lost a lot of its sort of central characteristics, but there's all that gulf moisture by the time we get to early

tomorrow morning. there is a lot of rain in northeastern mississippi, near tupelo. also look at that heavy band up by nashville. the potential for flooding is certainly there in tennessee, and by the afternoon on tuesday, it's from nashville east heading toward knoxville and then will move into the mid-atlantic as we look at the forecast from the hurricane center down to a tropical storm by 7:00 a.m. down to a tropical depression by this evening. and then the storm makes its way into the mid-atlantic. look at all that rain that you are seeing there and the potential total six inches of rain not just in mississippi but into nashville and then also into d.c., philadelphia, places that have been water logged with the last several tropical systems. unfortunately we are looking at more rain and the potential for more flooding even as you get well away from where that storm made landfall. anne-marie? >> all right. thank you. ahead on "cbs this morning," we will talk with fema administrator deanne criswell on where the worst damage is right now, the search and rescue efforts, and the biggest concerns going forward.

dignified transfer. the white house says more than 114,000 people have now been evacuated from afghanistan since august 14th, including 5,400 americans. and the number of new coronavirus cases continues to rise. the average number of daily cases as of last friday hit 147,000. that is the most since late january. meantime, the former commissioner of the fda, scott gottlieb, says the pfizer vaccine could be approved for children ages 5 to 11 by as early as winter. the american academy of pediatrics says 180,000 kids nationwide tested positive for covid during the week of august 12th. so coming up, a television legend. we remember emmy award-winning actor ed asner in his iconic roles. and fighting back -- a mom jumps into action after a mountain lion attacks her son. this is the "cbs morning news."
