8 Hours on land/marsh, Ida still a Category 3 Hurricane
Hurricane Ida storms across Louisiana and Mississippi, leaving destruction in its wake. All of Orleans parish now lacks power. Watch WWL-TV's live stream of its coverage below. All three Entergy feeder lines to the New Orleans Water & Sewer Board's pumps are down. The main Entergy transmission line that crosses the Mississippi River is down in the river. The station tweeted:
New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board has lost all three feeder lines from Entergy. That means the agency lost 12 megawatts of 60-cycle power to run its newer drainage pumps and is left with only Turbine 6 to make 15 megawatts in-house.Sewer back-ups are expected.
Metairie is without water as the system lacks water pressure due to trees knocking down power lines.

NOLA will be there at sunrise, have no fear.
The entire city and parish have no power. What a swamp again.
Looters in 3..2..1…
Nothing like nature bringing us a "wag the dog" event to take the focus from Afghanistan and the demented POTUS to weather events in the South.
That’s a heck of an install on the window shaker!
7:07. You do realize that Joe Biden AND Donald Trump AND Barack Obama AND George W Bush all listened to military leaders in Afghanistan? None of those four were on the ground, dealing directly with the people living there...It's a failure of epic proportions and the blame for this failure is squarely on the US Military and State Department for not having a viable plan to stabilize the nation, have a functioning Afghan army and government, and an exit strategy for Afghans who helped us for the 20 years we were there.
We can't stay there forever--and we never learn that we can't force people to accept the way we want them to live. Vietnam didn't want Diem. Iran didn't want the Pahlivi. Afghanis don't want Ghani.
@11:55 PM - indeed, you beat me to it.
Guys not an idiot, he’s been there for a long time. Been a boat pilot there for a long time. House across the street has looked like that since 2019.
I just knew that first video from grand isle was going to end with an "oh s#!!" and us seeing his house breaking up.
Maybe if we didn’t worry or spend so much money and time in other third world shit holes we could fix our own cities.
@7:07am - The weather is in on the fake news Covid hoax too! Freaking Illuminati control everything, even the damn weather! Educate yourselves people!
"Nothing like nature bringing us a "wag the dog" event". Wonder how they pulled that off regarding impeccable timing.
Catastrophic damage to Transmission lines. These are the lines that carry power into NOLA.
Not to worry, as there are dozens of countries that tax their citizens and send money to the U.S., right? Right?
If they just had wind turbines they surely woulda stored up a buncha electricity real quick!!!!
