New Orleans residents were surveying the damage from Hurricane Ida on Monday morning. The entire city was left without power as the powerful storm tore through the city overnight.

Driving through the historic French Quarter and uptown parts of the city, trees blocked roads, and residents were seen clearing debris. The hum of generators could be heard from houses that have them. Stores were closed.

The storm appeared to have ripped part of the roof off of St. Stephen's School.
