Memphis is built on a bluff and very seldom floods.
It’s called “the bluff city”.

Do you even know why New Orleans flooded during Katrina?
Do you have any idea how many floods there has been in the Midwest that are almost comparable to Katrina?

Those are some great graphics.
Does the new entergy west power substation actually address this problem? I’d love to see that same graph after completion of the substation.
The lakeview and midcity pumps on that graph run on 25 hz. When the pumps are on and functioning they really do move an incredible amount of water.
We can never fix our crime problem because our people are kind of retarded and awful, but maybe drainage will actually improve with reliable power.

The water actually went down just as fast if not faster than it came up last night.
The pumps were working, they were just overwhelmed

New Orleans always and always will be flooded. Bad location to put a city
Fun fact, the original location of New Orleans (french quarter) has never flooded. The french engineers who planned it out put it in high ground.
But you do you, and claim it's an awful spot.

remember a day not too long ago where coastal erosion had people all across the state worried about New Orleans. Now I think people are hoping that NO gets washed away.
Sooner or later that reality is coming.
Couple that with the Mississippi changing course and there's a very real scenario where New Orleans turns into an island surrounded by levees.

This substation really is a prime example of why our city and state fall behind. This plan was first discussed before Covid. Finally breaks ground end of 2022 with phase 1 complete by end of 2023.
Here we are in 2024 with partially funded phase 1 and a hoped for completion by 2025 hurricane system.
This isn’t a billion dollar project. The city and state should be able to fund and build this to address drainage in its biggest city.
Power for the drainage pumps in New Orleans, another bridge across the river in Baton Rouge, replace the I-10 bridge in lake Charles.
Why are we incapable of helping ourselves?

Everyone has to deal with flooding if you get a lot of rain.
Iowa, Missouri, and Memphis have gone through some major flooding when they have a big snow year and it melts.
In the Baton Rouge are you have flooding when the Amite River basin cannot handle the amount of rain. Never understood why they haven’t put a pump on the end of Bayou Manchac to pump into Mississippi River.
New Orleans flood as we all know.
The residents pay a lot of tax dollars to the Sewer and water board. Problem is the S&WB waste their tax dollars instead of fixing problems that can be fixed.

I might stick around for a little while in case you need help. Let me know.

So they have to build frequency converters (which are being built now) to take the 60Hz Entergy Substation feed and convert to 25Hz for the old pumps. The substation will be significantly more reliable than their current power feed from Entergy (think like a large chemical plant).
Ultimately they will have much more reliable power with the substation as primary and then the older power plant turbines as emergency backup. Then they will replace those turbines with new ones for backup power.
It’s a lot of interconnected power and pumps work and they just don’t have the funds for $1B investment all at once.

Vegas has an elaborate system to capture rainwater. That’s how it meets almost all of its water needs.
Don’t they also recycle waste water which is why it smells like swimming pool water?

Thanks. That’s my understanding of this. More reliable generation and two converters for the frequency.
My frustration largely lies in our inability to bite off any of the “$1B investment.” It’s similar to the issues with buying and hardening the power grid. You have to eat that elephant one bite at a time.
This first phase I believe is a $60,000,000 budget. The city alone has an annual budget approaching “$1B.” We keep passing new and rolling forward current taxes as they we don’t have an existential flooding crises.
The money exists, just not the priority or urgency.

I feel like they had a good chunk of funding setup, however bad state politics messed that up. The reality is that post Katrina the federal investment was made in the hurricane flood protection system ($15B) and no real focus was placed on the interior drainage power generation/feeder lines/pumps/drainage system. At one point the system was state of the art, but that was nearly 100 years ago and we all know how much Louisiana like to do regular maintenance and asset management….

There was definitely a gap where they were out. Sudden resolution when they came back on in neighborhoods- even several videos of the strong currents to the drains once they were running.
