Well I lived, but the city is in trouble. They are now saying three weeks without power.
The grid went down twelve hours before the first wind, just in time to wheel the power to California for 7 PM on Sunday, Labor Day weekend, peak power rates, they are making so much they do not want to give it back.
After three days in the dark I left, just as 300,000 were coming in. Being below sea level, we pump our sewer up, and without power, the system does not work. So now, no power, water, sewer.
As people left they emptied the gas stations, then bumper to bumper for twelve hours to get out of the city, then they emptied the next ring of gas, and the next. Many cannot find gas to get back, and are in a car with kids. If they get back, no power, water, flushing.
Evacuating 1.9 million people does not work without gas, food, water, money. We are being made very poor and uncomfortable.
Somehow it seems to be our fault.
We were above sea level, we did not build under water. Then fifty years ago they started pumping oil and gas from beneath, and now parts of the city are 23 foot below sea level. The same happened to Galveston Texas. The coast is sinking, just as fast as oil and gas are being pumped out.
It seems we are interfering with the oil business, and we could have an accident, or several.
Homeland Security is for the protection of oil companies.
I am 60 miles away, but most have no where to go but home.
Flooded by water, now by sewer, they have a plan.
Terrorists have launched a biological warfare program on New Orleans.
They call themselves FEMA.
