That provides 90% of power to Metairie and New Orleans. HUGE fuckup. Also, power out and no good drinking water in both parish water treatment plants. Residents asked to limit water use so sewerage does not back up. Several week wait for power. How does this affect Tulane?

August 30, 20214 yr Popular Post I am sitting in my SUV in the driveway, charging my phone, smoking my 1:1 CBD/THC vape and having my next-to-last cold beer. Already used app to initiate State Farm claim. My shingles no longer live on my roof. And the back neighbor psycho dogs who historically want to kill me when I am in my yard, now can. Fence is kaput. I have a few generators to share with neighbors. Glad I flew home yesterday. The 5-8 pm show was impressive. The day will show how fucked we are. Not really. Louisiana is 6 X more than Katrina fucked right now. Less dead, to be sure. But this was a fucking disaster of epic proportions.

As you know, we went through both the power/water thing in Austin earlier this year, but that only lasted a week. Sadly, y'all are going to be dealing with this shit much, much longer. Let us know how we can help. I'm sure ROFL has some shingles guy connections.
August 30, 20214 yr The power situation and everything related is going to be a shitshow Wonder how long it takes to rebuild major transmission lines /towers

August 30, 20214 yr People are just saying we will get a better picture once the sun comes up. It is bad. Like really bad.
August 30, 20214 yr Given the expectation of prolonged power outages and no sewage treatment, I smell (deep inhale) a Surly bidness opportunity for our resident bitcoin enthusiasts and @Scheiss Meister. South Korean toilet turns excrement into power and digital currency
August 30, 20214 yr A 150 mph hurricane stalling is probably the worst case scenario. The images of damage are going to be horrific

August 30, 20214 yr Jefferson Parish President this morning said there has been no contact with Grand Isle.
August 30, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, Constant said: Need some eyes on Grand Isle this morning. I mean there was a pretty big one on it for a while yesterday.
August 30, 20214 yr Need some eyes on Grand Isle this morning. Could be awhile. GMA crew said most of them don’t have cell service on site, and they were 20-30 miles from Grand Isle.
August 30, 20214 yr 2 minutes ago, Buzzrock said: Could be awhile. GMA crew said most of them don’t have cell service on site, and they were 20-30 miles from Grand Isle. I’ve seen some Twitter chatter saying it basically doesn’t exist anymore.
August 30, 20214 yr I can only speak for my home in Houston, but it didn’t rain for 3 straight days in Harvey. It rained most of it but there were times it didn’t during those days. I distinctly remember both nights torrential rainfall that brought water a few feet from my front door and then it stopped for several hours. Very surreal with no sounds outside, no wind, no rain. Nothing at 3am but a lake where the streets and front lawns normally are. perhaps it didn’t stop for 3 days elsewhere but not in central Houston.

Coast Guard will get a heli crew there promptly at first light, my guess. With such a small number of known people riding it out there, they will know what buildings to sweep.
August 30, 20214 yr Baton Rouge also with widespread power outages. From the Advocate: Quote Thousands of people are without power in the Baton Rouge area Monday morning after Hurricane Ida pummeled the region. As of 5:30 a.m., several pockets in the area still had power, according to Entergy's live power outage map. Here's a breakdown of Entergy customers without power by parish: East Baton Rouge: 137,056 Ascension: 39,941 Livingston: 19,684 West Baton Rouge: 3,801 East Feliciana: 3,212 It is unclear how long power outages will last, but Entergy is warning people to brace for days, if not a month or more.

At some point we'll figure out that water is too precious for transporting feces and find a better way to dispose of it, like the system in the linked article. Thanks, @bolverk.

Thirty years in the poop scene, approximately ten of them among this group of miscreants, and your goddamn phone still autocorrects "shit" to "shot." Technology sucks.
