NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal declared a state of emergency Sunday as the Gulf Coast braced for the arrival of Hurricane Ida, which was making its way across the Gulf of Mexico as a Category 2 storm. A hurricane watch was in effect from southeastern Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. New Orleans was not included in the watch area. At 3 p.m. CST, the center of Hurricane Ida was located near Latitude 22.2 North, Longitude 86.3 West or about 510 miles sout-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River.
