Well Mitch, your pumps aren't pumping and the streets are flooding.


But hey, the firefighters are taking down statues.

So your thesis is statues make pumps work? Please explain.

Nothing new. Everyone knows the money could've been allocated to so many other places.

Streets.

Sewage.

Crime.

You name it.

But we won't have any say in the matter because Mitch is gonna Mitch.

If you live closer to the river you don't have to worry about your street flooding

The pumps just kicked on and within a matter of minutes the water was gone.

Simple float adjustment is all it needs.

Power never waivered and streets stayed above water

Or the rain just slowed down.

quote:

In addition, we would remind residents that our drainage system is capable of removing one-inch of rain in the first hour of an event and one half inch per hour thereafter. Another way to look at this- S&WB will handle the first 1,300,000,000 gallons of water that falls every hour in New Orleans. Localized flooding may occur if we receive more than 1.3 billion gallons of rain in any single hour.


Press release from March
