Grand Isle took the first punch from the category 4 hurricane that became one of America’s most powerful storms and the worst in the island’s history
There is progress, but it has been gradual. Electricity returned to the island in October, and thicker pylons with deeper foundations have been installed.

Running water has also returned, but a boil water advisory remains in place. Gas connections are sporadic, with some on the island still living without.
