Ida's Death Toll Hits 82 as Hundreds of Thousands Remain Without Power in South
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The death toll from Hurricane Ida and its remnants has reached at least
82, with 52 of those recorded in the Northeast, which saw major rains,
flooding and even tornadoes. New Orleans has lifted its curfew 10 days
after Ida battered the town, as power is slowly being restored to more
customers, though hundreds of thousands remain without electricity
outside the city.
