shite can be rerouted, the whole countries electrical grid if connected in some way, they will figure something out quickly, even if it’s a temporary fix. That power plant isn’t that old, they can surely switch from other places
Can they not run those lines along the CCC (Or the Huey P since that's near where the tower was)? I don't know shite about running lines but it would make more sense than giant towers.

Levees are holding, for now, correct?
Maybe no Katrina levee break repeat?

ransmission lines going across property and ones tall enough to go across the largest river in the hemisphere are two different things.
The towers and transmission lines were the last thing replaced in our area. Power was rerouted and poles and local lines took precedent. You guys will have power way before that tower gets replaced.

Ground so wet and oaks do not grow deep roots. Glad it did not hit y’all.

quote:The tower of terror. However this map shows two towers on the Westbank so maybe that can reroute to the one good tower while that fix the other one.
Yes, a barge took out one of the towers from the Nine Mile Plant that supplies power to the east bank. Supposedly took nine months to build, but not all aspects will need to be re-done.
The tower

Same situation im in. I want to power up but frick its bad outside
Wait man. It sucks but worth it. Don't take a chance on something going wrong.
Neighbor did that during Laura and fricked up his generator somehow. Not sure if it got wet or he did something wrong. Started smoking and the surge caused the wall he was plugged into to smoke as well.
No need tonadd to your problems if you don't need to

No, you can’t attach high voltage lines to a bridge for a lot of reasons.
