Ida Aftermath - New Orleans

Posted on 08/30/2021 12:33:03 PM PDT by wardamneagle

POWER All eight transmission towers that deliver power into the New Orleans area are currently out of service Entergy is working to assess damage and identify a path forward to restore power Unknown when power will be restored. Could be weeks.

WATER S&WB says they are currently maintaining water pressure in the city of New Orleans, meaning no precautionary boil water advisories Both 52-WATER and backup phone lines are down, so there is no way for customers to reach S&WB Despite losing Entergy power, the S&WB turbines continue to churn out power for the city's 96 operational drainage pumps Sewer pumps throughout the city are experiencing power loss, meaning some residents could see sewage backup The utility is trying to get backup generators online for some of them Currently, the backup generator on the westbank is down, meaning there is no pumping happening for Algiers neighborhoods

Um, the towers that are down are regular high tension grid towers. Not windmills.

Doesn’t help if your powerlines are underground if the transmission towers that connect to them go down.

With no electricity, it will be a scary place tonight. I imagine there will be some robberies and rapes and beatings.

Potable water being available is huge good news!

Sewage issues suck.

Two words for the future: Backflow valve.

There are places on earth that are not suitable for permanent human settlement. Anything man builds in places like New Orleans can be destroyed by nature.

Let’s hope some folks are armed and take proper care of the problem.
