(CNN) -

Until a hurricane like Ida finally passes, it's hard to know what kind of damage has occurred.

Only several days after the storm makes landfall, images like the ones below can emerge, clearly showing the destruction left by the cyclone.

Prior to Ida's arrival, the New Orleans National Weather Service had said that "this cyclone is expected to bring DEVASTATING impacts to parts of southeastern Louisiana."

Here are some of the scars Ida left in Louisiana.

Move the slider to the right to see the images before the storm, and move it to the left to see the images afterwards.
