re: It’s storming in NOLA and Turbine 4 just shut down

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.

Article today confirmed with turbine 4 out they had to ration power. If the substation were in place, I don’t think that happens during this event.

At least in my neighborhood, it was like a flip was switched and the street was drained very quickly once the water started moving.

News today is also pointing the finger at catch basins (responsibility of the public works department). The numbers speak for themselves with DPW only cleaning 5,000 of the 70,000 catch basins in the last 2 years so I’m sure that is an issue. But at least in our neighborhood I think it’s a power rationing issue because the water moves and clears when the pump is on by us.

With 70,000 catch basins to clean, young men in the city of New Orleans should never be out of work.
