New Orleans is flooding again and the storm hasn’t even hit yet.

[Truth1253]

My friend Sidney Torres should run for Mayor.

OMG is this Trumps Katrina.....

Tropical Storm Barry

 

[Truth1253]

Currently this isn't a levee thing, (it may become that later). It's more due to the fact that New Orleans is below sea and river level, so they have to pump out every drop of rain that falls inside the city.

Evidently either the pumps or the sewer lines (or both) can't keep up.

That's far more accurate. I've seen three feet of water in my neighborhood from a simple summer storm without a hurricane.

Where at?

Lower Garden District. At the time.

I went to De La Salle crime has gotten so bad Uptown.

Uptown was the last place I lived (Carrollton). I still visit frequently. Haven't noticed any changes except different supermarkets.

Have you ever took a nice little walk in pigeon town?

That is what happens when you build a city below sea level...

Teh irony!

Wrong that what happens when the levee board steals 100’s of millions of dollars. But we’re waiting for that fault to break to say goodbye to California so it is what it is

Every house in NO should have a boat and enough space to get out to the street once it's floated.

 

[Marion Morrison]

It's not even really hitting yet.

So, ya'll get all teh rains fer a bit, huh? Glyphosate tyme!

New Orleans is broke from thieving Democrats

We had some of the nasty stuff earlier today, and are supposed to get more at least through Sunday. It is SO humid...unreal.

It rained today, and the sun wasn't even out, but it felt like 110% humidity.

It was at least still around 88, too.

Exactly! Sweltering hot.

The federal government granted New Orleans millions to repair the levees and they spent it on casinos. The casinos make more than 150 million every month but the levees are still in disrepair and they blame the republican administration.

It's hard to pump out 6" an hour. Plus the Mississippi is still up form previous floods in the upper Mississippi rain shed.

I just flew into NO from Tampa tonight and it's noticeably more humid.

When Democrats run a City

More like what happens "when you build a city in a bowl below sea level"

 

[mdk]

Best wishes to everyone in the region. Stay safe ya'll!

 

[LordBrownTrout]

The other issue is that green hypoxic dead zone being pushed inland.

Yeah, that too.

If it was just the river they have spillways they can open to relieve the pressure. The soybean farmers won't like it, but it is an option.

Rain is worse because all they can do is pump and pump and pump and pray the electric doesn't go out. (and the generators have enough fuel)

Wow, my prayers keep getting answered
