Hurricane Ida poured down on the city of New Orleans this past Sunday, August 29, 2021. It was the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, one of the most infamous storms in recent history. Hurricane Ida made a name for itself as the fifth-strongest hurricane to ever hit the mainland, with winds ascending to 150 mph. By Monday morning the streets were flooded, homes were destroyed, and the power grid was completely wiped out. With a global pandemic still actively debilitating the wellbeing of the world, Hurricane Ida has completely exhausted the city of New Orleans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no secret that southern hospitality is the standard in NOLA and during times like this, the community comes together to rebuild. Phillip Santosuosso<\/a> is the owner of a local New Orleans skate shop called Humidity<\/a>, which has been a staple in the skate scene since 1996. Santosuosso joined the team during their 10-year anniversary and was eventually able to purchase the store with his mother — just a year after Hurricane Katrina hit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
