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

Lots of the Netherlands is below sea level. Of course, they are Dutch. And they seldom if ever have 150 mph storms.

Example of transmission tower that is down in the NO area. A lot of the smaller distribution poles/substations,etc have damage also

I always wondered what the CEO of Heineken thought of that picture.

I guess there is no such thing as bad publicity.

I remember the bid NE blackout on Nov 5 1965. The crime rate NYC actually DROPPED that evening. Interestingly enough nine months later in the maternity wards in the hospitas it was ALL HANDS ON DECK🙄🤔😉

NYC crime was rampant during the 1977 blackout. It’s been said that’s what helped Ex Koch win the mayor5el election that year

Amazing picture—the logistics of replacing those things (especially in current conditions) boggles the mind.

If they have mandatory vaxx requirements for utility workers it could be months before N.O. has power.

Hey, I have a great idea! Let’s have the national guard confiscate guns from ALL the law abiding citizens protecting their homes from looting and invasion. That will keep them safe!

Transmission towers will take longer than distribution poles.
If in NO, light candles and keep your guns loaded and at hand.

Anyplace that is pretty much below sea-level, right next to the water, and in the frequent path of storms, like?
