摘要：	The Coast Guard Foundation held its annual tribute to the Eighth Coast Guard District March 11 at the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. During the event, the foundation honored Coast Guard Sector New Orleans for its response to Hurricane Ida, which made landfall near Port Fourchon, La., on August 29, 2021. At landfall, Hurricane Ida had sustained winds of 150 mph. As the storm moved over the lakes and marshes of southeast Louisiana, it maintained its major hurricane status far inland, and its forward motion slowed to a crawl. Mariners aboard vessels on the Mississippi River endured hours of hurricane-force winds and waves, which grounded ships, tow-boats and barges alike. The storm also blew down transmission lines that cross the Mississippi River near Avondale, cutting power to the entire New Orleans metro area and closing the river to navigation. Power and water outages impacted more than a million residents.
