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

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?

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.
