The FBI says investigators have pieced together his activities leading up to the attack, including that he posted several online videos proclaiming his support for ISIS and previewing the violence that was to come.
Just hyper heightened security like I have never seen before. And I've covered this city for something like 30 years now. The college football playoff game between Georgia and Notre Dame was postponed by a day, was played in the Sugar Bowl without incident yesterday. Officers are posted everywhere you look, including military police from the Louisiana National Guard.
Roads are blocked off around the Superdome, also in the French Quarter where Bourbon Street, like you say, is back open. When I first went out there after it opened, there was still water fresh on the street from where the crime scene had been cleaned up. And already makeshift memorials, long-stemmed yellow roses for the 14 victims, people adding to that throughout the day.
There seemed to be this determination not to let a terrorist sap the city's culture. Darnell Sims is a drummer with the One Way Brass Band, and he told me it was important just to bring the street music back.
He wasn't the only one trying to spread the love. As the band was playing on bourbon, a man jogged down the street with a handmade flag that said love hoisted up on a fish pole.
Certainly people are shaken up, sadness, shock, and questions about why local officials haven't done more to make Bourbon Street less vulnerable to an attack like this. Kenzie Falk is a praline vendor who was pushing his cart along Canal. He says he's just trying to keep things going despite the uncertainty. As of right now, everything's at a standstill.
And what next are two more major national events, the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras here in New Orleans.
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season had 18 named storms, 11 of them hurricanes, with five reaching major hurricane status, with winds topping 111 mph. Five hurricanes hit the U.S., including Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which combined killed more than 200 people and caused billions of dollars of damage in Florida, North Carolina and other parts of the southeast.
Both were late season storms in a year that saw a record seven hurricanes form after September 25th. Debbie Elliott, NPR News. This is NPR.
