Are you serious. That renders the pump useless also so what’s your point

Facts.
Also doesn't render them useless. But other factors made them useless in this case.

60 years ago the city had 630,000 residents Today it has about 370,000 Does that sound like thriving to you?
Do you realize that if they counted every person that claims to live or be from New Orleans that number would be well over 1 million??

What factors made it useless? Do they have a spare?

They have the ability to convert the power. But...well....broken too.
There are spares as well...but broken.
There are extra extra backups, those worked, but they aren't immediate. Or as powerful.
Also, the distinction between turbine failure and pump failure is important since this is the first turbine failure (electrical failure) in several years.
And not getting political, but there have been projects jerked around over funding for the electrical upgrades/maintenance because the state is fricking around with funding over Orleans parish abortions; which aren't happening. Took months to get approved because the Atty General was chiming in on federal infrastructure projects.

You’re a fat drunk from Lafourche pretending as if you’re in the Pickwick club. Sit down and accept that you’re in the American version of Kingston, Jamaica.

That place is sinking into hell.
I was seeing articles 30 years ago about how New Orleans was sinking and nothing could stop it. No bedrock + no new silt replacement from annual flooding = land eventually wears away.

Might help if those oil companies filled in their pipelines too

I get it that there was the normal street flooding, but did any structures take on water last night? I haven't been online much today.

Not that I’ve heard of.
From what I’ve gathered is the flooding started around 0530-0700

Cool story..
After Rita a friend was coming contracted to help rebuild the pump systems.
The control panels that were in these buildings were is such shite condition he said there's no way a bunch of them worked before the storm.
He was asked to go back through years later on an inspection and the work they put in on quite a few looked like they hadn't been touched since they left. As if no one is doing any kind of PM work.

No, just street flooding. But that won’t stop the OT

Not good for rotating equipment.

At least those offensive statutes are gone.

Eventually the MS River is going to win it’s battle with New Orleans.

If you read all the doomsday predictions, if the river is going to fck things up, it will be a little north of Baton Rouge where it happens
