Cleanup Begins After Hurricane Humberto

Ingrid Downgraded To Tropical Depression

POSTED: Wednesday, September 12, 2007
UPDATED: 10:43 am EDT September 15, 2007

Some 60,000 homes and businesses that lost power during Hurricane Humberto still don't have it back and utility officials said it could be Tuesday before it's all back on.

The storm cut off service to as many as 120,000 customers in Texas and Louisiana.

Experts estimate the total damage from the storm will be less than $500 million.

The remnants of the first hurricane to hit the U.S. in two years have moved through Mississippi on to the East Coast. The Carolinas have gotten wind and heavy rain, with dozens of power outages and traffic accidents. A nursing home near Raleigh, N.C., was evacuated after a tree fell onto the building.

On Saturday, Ingrid, the Atlantic season's ninth named storm, was downgraded from a tropical storm to a tropical depression. The storm is still hundreds of miles out to sea.

At 5 a.m. EST, the center of Ingrid was about 573 miles east of the Lesser Antilles and it was heading toward the west-northwest at 10 mph.

Ingrid has maximum sustained winds near 35 mph, but is not expected to strengthen or make landfall before dying out, the NHC said.
