One of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the US mainland,Ida brought a 5 to 12-foot storm surge that covered low-lying communities in southeastern Louisiana.Grand Isle is now "uninhabitable,"said Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng,with 3 feet of sand covering the entire barrier island and 40 percent of the buildings completely destroyed. The storm caused a citywide blackout in New Orleans,but a Hurricane Katrina-level disaster was avoided there,thanks in part to the D$14.5 billion spent on new levees,seawalls, and pumps after the 2005 storm.Experts are warning that Ida could worsen the Covid crisis in the Gulf Coast,as residents crowd together in homes and emergency shelters without immediate access to testing or medical care.ICUs in Louisiana,Mississippi,and Alabama hospitals were already near capacity before the storm hit.Nearly 1 million people are still without power across Louisiana,and authorities warned it could be weeks before electricity is restored."If you have already evacuated,said Gov.John Bel Edwards,"do not return here." 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了飓风艾达给墨西哥湾沿岸居民造成的 破坏，以及人们突后重建的情况。 1.Which of the following best describes Hurricane Ida?
