Hurricane Ida battered Cuba on Friday before it started to make its way into the Gulf of Mexico in a beeline toward Louisiana, where it's expected to hit as a Category 4 storm on the anniversary of deadly Hurricane Katrina.
The storm hit Cuba with roof-ripping force and sustained winds of up to 80 miles per hour on Friday, prompting evacuations of flood-prone New Orleans neighborhoods and oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.

Correct
