These drone and satellite images show shocking devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Ida. Ida continued its path of destruction across parts of the eastern United States before tapering off into the ocean Friday morning. The storm left eight states with immense damage and destruction. Photos and videos taken from each of the affected areas have shown brutal winds and rain in what was the fifth strongest hurricane to ever hit the U.S. mainland, resulting in damaged buildings, loss of power and floods. At least 54 deaths have been reported as a result of Ida since making landfall on Sunday. Days after hitting the southeast as a Category 4 hurricane, Ida's impact still looms large on residents. Drone and satellite images have captured what the hurricane has done to neighborhoods and homes in New Jersey, New York, Louisiana and Mississippi, as rescue efforts continue in the hardest-hit areas. 📸 Maxar Technologies sattelites, @apnews
