New Orleans' worst is yet to come | No Electricity for the next 30 - 60 days | Do you know what this means?

You brits are so bloody literal.

He doesn’t mean every single tower is down.

Looks pretty bad to me.

Some of those massive towers that run across the water have toppled over. You don’t just bring in a small crane and hoist up a new telephone pole…. These will require a lot of engineering, fabricating and construction work.

maybe send all the Afganis to NOLA?

They will fit right in. Maybe improve the place.

On the bright side, no power bill for 30-60 days.

Allow me to predict:

In two days when the looting gets really bad, John Bell Edwards will call in the National Guard

I’m just waiting to see if they go house to house gun grabbing

It is awful to contemplate...

Of course, that will one of their PRIMARY objectives for sending in the National Guard i the first place.

The MSM will not talk about this AT ALL, of course.

Same as it ever was.

What OTHER purpose does the NG have other than gun-confiscation...?

Snakes, Gators, Mosquitoes, disease, food, water, heatstroke,
mold, mildew, looting, shootings, killings, malnutrition,
death, anarchy, homeless.

The list goes on.

When does everyone get ordered to go to the fema camp?

All major electric transmission lines have been destroyed.

All the big towers that deliver power to the city have been knocked over. They're gone...

You have over 1.2 million people grouped together in a low lying swamp surrounded by limited transport access.

You can't pump gas because there is no electricity...

The water is in a similar situation... with major power down, it's only a matter of time before backup generators (if they're still functioning) will run out of fuel.

You can't charge your cell phones because most people don't have ways to charge up without a connection to a power line or running car.

How long can we expect your average city dweller to survive without their digital distractions, a warm meal, and clean water?

No lights.

No 911 services.

And it will take the city a week...

1 week... just to assess the damage and repair plans for the big power transmission lines... before any recommended repairs are sent for...

Then there is the task to bring in the materials, machinery, and labor to build new giant power transmission towers.

How much longer will that take?

And that doesn't even include the surface street power line repairs that will be needed to bring power to each city block and home.

Do you know what this means?

Yeah right blacks built civilization built the us and invented the shit you honkys use and you stole it all like you always do you steal people's lands and inventions and destroy civilizations blacks and other nonwhites built

They have already started looting and some

generators have been reported stolen.

No point to stock up on extra gas I guess.

They'll be abandoned like those poor souls trying to flee Kabul?

Or maybe "evacuated" on buses that leave but never arrive...

This at a time when nothing is on shelves.


Electrical equipment is already in short to no supply.

This isn't Louisiana's first rodeo. Pretty sure they will find a way.

After IKE, my power was out for a solid month.
Luckily I had bought a 5kw generator.
Of course the internet and cell phone were also without service.

Had to drive about 30 miles away to get gasoline for the genny.

I just had a bunch of extension cords to keep the fridge going, hooked up a window air conditioner, a few lights, a fan, and could run the Dishwasher and washer and dryer by plugging them in one at a time. (Gas dryer, and gas stove)

I was getting pretty darn sick of it after a month, but I lived.

The water supply was also screwed to the area because of a large Oak that fell and broke someones huge sprinkler system supply pipe and laid across the shutoff valve. Had to get my chain saw going and went out and but up the tree. Neighbors helped move the wood out of the way and then we shut off the leaking pipe, restoring water to the neighborhood.

It's not just locals who are stranded there either.

Thousands of travelers are stuck in the New Orleans region after Hurricane Ida made landfall Sunday afternoon.

Jennifer Alban, of Richland, said she remained stranded in her downtown New Orleans hotel room Monday Aug. 30. She was in the city for a conference and was unable to leave before the storm hit.

"I was looking for flights out of New Orleans to any part of the country. As soon as you find them and click purchase, they were gone. There were no rental cars available either," Alban said.
