Covington Couple Honors Hurricane Anniversaries with New Legacy Monday Marks 17 Years Since Katrina, One Year Since Ida (Covington, LA) – On any other day, there is much to debate in Greater New Orleans. Do you prefer Blues or Jazz, Cajun or Creole, Beignets or King Cakes? But Monday is the one day of the year when the things that separate Louisianians no longer matter. The day belongs to the thousands of stories that have brought everyone in Southeast Louisiana closer together with each passing year. Monday, Aug. 29 is the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina (2005) and Hurricane Ida (2021) roaring out of the Gulf of Mexico and into Louisiana history books.
