The thread poll needs to be changed into how many fuck ups and failures are there going to be in the spirit of the current year .
 
Not a single mention of any of this on the MSM...not CNBC or anything

Its like the storm hit and then stopped talking about it. You know the situation is fucky now. Stonks are up. They are airing a special about children choking on goodday America. Theres billions and damage and hundreds probably dead and no power for weeks. What a bunch of bullshit, if this were Trump or Jeb! it would be 24:7 :story:


They would literally find a body and put it in the water to float for the camera's.

Do the storm chasers just pack and go home immediately? I figured they'd be cruising around surveying the damage? I guess if there's no power there's no cell towers.

And no power from what I saw on that article. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/h...-years-after-katrina-leaves-trail-devastation

More than a million people are without power as Hurricane Ida battered New Orleans and the Louisiana coast on Sunday.

Ida was one of the strongest hurricanes on record, in terms of wind speed and pressure, to make landfall in Louisiana. The timing of landfall was on the 16th anniversary of Katrina, a Category 3 hurricane that swamped the Gulf Coast with torrential rains.

After making landfall early Sunday afternoon, Ida has since been downgraded to a tropical storm and was moving eight mph with the storm's eye about 50 miles north-northeast of Baton Rouge. Winds have dramatically decreased and sustained around 60 mph.

Officials warned yesterday of "life-threatening" floods and significant storm surges across Louisiana and Mississippi. Sixteen states from Mississippi to New Jersey are under a flash flood advisory through the week.



LaPlace, Louisiana, recorded the highest rainfall of around 15 inches. Flash flood advisories remain in effect for the area.

So far, more than 1 million homes and businesses are without power and another 100,000 in Mississippi. It was reported that 200,000 were without power in New Orleans due to catastrophic damage to transmission lines for the metro area.



New Orleans is also experiencing technical difficulties with its emergency communications network.

"If you find yourself in an emergency, please go to your nearest fire station or approach your nearest officer," the Orleans Parish Communication District announced via Twitter early Monday. "We will update you once this issue has been resolved."

But in general, you need to have an exit strategy and place to crash already figured out before the storm hits. It's one of the reasons why the whole "prepper" business thrives on people in places like New Orleans where you have to be prepared and prepared before shit hits the fan.

People who live in low-lying areas tend to be unable to afford to leave for the same reason they're living in low-lying areas that flood all the time, because if they could afford to, they'd live somewhere else.

They're there to see the storm, not get shot by gangs of looters.

I noticed this too. When Katrina happened no one would shut up about it. It was covered like 9/11 almost.

Hurricane Ida? Who's that? Did it rain in the south? It's fine.

Weird world we live in. Not sure I approve.
 
When I went to bed last night, this thread had predictions of calamity. I hoped for the best but realistically expected to wake up to find this thread filled with photos and stories of devastation. Instead the thread is very quiet and the only news I noticed on it was the BBC site saying loss of power and one person killed.

If things really aren't as bad (not dismissing the death) then that's great. But I'm confused. Was it called wrong? Is New Orleans so much better at handling things now than back in 2005? Because that's not the impression I was getting.

Things are pretty fucked up. Not on a Katrina Level but a close second.
 
I went to the twitter and searched for #Ida.
There were many posts asking for help and showing scary storm videos.
The occasional melodramatic reporter being blown away with civilians walking past in the background like nothing's happening. I love those guys.

One thing I saw a lot of that I wish people would dial back on, is posting "thoughts and prayers" -type responses to genuine requests for help. If you can't physically show up at someone's house to get them and their family off the roof, maybe boost signal for them by reposting where rescuers can see it or something but don't clog up the thread with feel-good blather.

I hope for the best but I remember last time.

It is kind of weird because this is the perfect platform to distract people from the disaster of Afghanistan, you'd think.

It wasn't as powerful as katrina. There's an image earlier in the thread that shows the difference between Ida and Katrina, and Ida is about a magnitude weaker.

WWL and Twitter reporting ATT cell service is out. The radio station is also having phone issues themselves.
As the cell networks die from lack of power in the coming days I think the information blackout will grow. Like others have said it seems MSM has zero interest in covering this compared to past storms.

Might paint a certain party in a bad light you know

Hopefully drudge stays on top of this. Pretty nasty damage all around...tho no its not Katrina but it could definitely be called a Katrina lite
 
I just heard a guy say that they weren't getting reports of deaths, that it was good.

Um.

Just because you aren't hearing about them doesn't mean they aren't happening.

It was on WWLTV livestream
