Louisiana governor admits search and rescue teams can't be deployed until the sun comes up because Hurricane Ida is 'just too dangerous'

Gov. John Bel Edwards said conditions were too dangerous Sunday evening for first responders to get to stranded residents

Edwards said he was aware of calls from residents in the southeast portion of the state, but noted that they would likely have to wait until morning for rescue

The announcement came after New Orleans slammed with sustained winds of more than 150mph, knocking out power for the entire city

In as of around 10.00pm Ida was downgraded to a Category 2, but 911 calls were pouring in from St. John the Baptist Parish, due to flooding
