Event narrative (NOAA)

The parish suffered widespread damage to trees, powerlines and homes due to Ida��s strong winds. Numerous homes also suffered minor to moderate damage, mainly to roofs, carports and other fascia. A few homes were more severely damaged by falling trees, including one where a man was killed when a tree fell on his home. Over 100 roads across the parish were closed due to downed trees, power lines and power poles, or other debris. This includes I-10 between Prairieville and Gramercy, which was blocked by downed trees. At the peak nearly the entire parish was without power.
