As "Ada" headed north, the wind weakened slightly, and the flooded communities around New Orleans also launched rescue operations.

  According to reports, "Ada" landed as a Category 4 hurricane on the 29th, exactly 16 years after Hurricane Katrina made landfall, evoking memories of the 2005 typhoon that killed more than 1,800 people and destroyed New Orleans.

  In the late afternoon of the 30th, after bringing a lot of rainfall to Louisiana and causing at least two deaths, "Ada" was downgraded to a tropical storm, and the eye of the storm slowly passed through neighboring Mississippi.
