Just another Monday in NoLA

Pipe bursts.
Multiple city blocks flooded
Entire uptown under boil advisory
Schools closed.
Repairs to take months and months.

1718 > 2005

Katrina could not reach those parts, but 1718 could.

Will the Huey P collapse one day while filled with traffic? Thoughts of that bridge still make me anxious, and I haven’t crossed it in decades.

It was redone and widened from 2006 -2013. So I assume it's decently safe.

And it's also in Jefferson Parish; they are incompetent but not to the level of Orleans Parish . . . yet.

Pulling people off floats who chuck beads too fast are a top priority.

They should consider a type of pipe that can flex. The ground is always moving there and steel pipes cant take the stress

Probably 100 people sitting at the water department doing nothing. But try to fire one of them.

I'm glad we paid a 10% increase in our water bills for 8 straight years starting when Mitch was in office to replace our aging infrastructure.

She will put out a video of her being surrounded by 6 black SWB workers. Those photo ops are important.

But hey, at least the statues are gone and now the best and brightest (according to Mitch) aren't leaving.
