Louisiana starts cleaning up after Ida destroyed homes, cut off power to over 1 million

Power crews are trying to get electricity back after Ida slammed into Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane this week. “CBS This Morning” Lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is in the Bayou State, where first responders and the U.S. military are desperately trying to rescue people stranded by the flooding. The water rose so high, some had to wait for help in their attics.

Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs.
