Hurricane Sally-- Here Comes the Water, NO, LA

Look at the forecast map for rain amounts:


That is a metric-buttload of rain.

To be honest, 10-15 inches of rain over 5 days in NOLA is easily handleable by the pumps. Caveats:

1) The pumps remain manned. During Katrina, pulling the staffing caused problems as the intakes became clogged with no one to clear them.

2) The power remains on.

3) NOLA’s pumping capacity is 1” the first hour and 1/2” every hour thereafter.

Based upon that map, New Orleans East is fucked, but much of that was never really rebuilt. The Northshore will flood, but Katrina removed much of the vulnerable stock. The question will be how accurate the projections were where new developments were built on the Northshore...if someone screwed up the number, people will be swimming. The place to be most worried about is coastal MS, just like with Katrina.

It'd be nice if the pumps worked. I lived in New Orleans for a time, pre-Katrina. The apartment building that I lived in flooded up into the second floor. They tore it down a few years afterwards. It's just a parking lot, now.

Lived in Slidell for years, the pumps usually worked, but the rain was often in the 1”+ per hour range down there. The misguided evacuation of pump staff, and the failure to provide proper emergency power were part of what doomed much of NOLA with Katrina...that, the Corp of Engineers negligence and Shrub’s indifference. Over ten feet suggests you were living in Lakeview or Gentilly...I used to participate in a fantasy football league with some lawyers from NOLA in Lakeview, they all ended up in Baton Rouge.

Trump has a Sharpie at the ready to do battle with the hurricane.
