2Far ★ Posted August 25, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 25, 2017 Hurricane Harvey Rainfall Poses Danger to Ill-Prepared New Orleans I mean, hurricane season comes the SAME. TIME. EVERY. YEAR., but " Three of the five power turbines that power the 120 pumps that are supposed to keep the low-lying city from being swamped by rainwater are not working. And 15 of those pumps were offline because of repairs." SRSLY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parodybot Posted August 25, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 25, 2017 What do you expect from a town whose most well known thoroughfare is "Bourbon Street"? I think the pump command center is at the corner of Bourbon and Crack. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted August 25, 2017 Share #4 Posted August 25, 2017 You are right. This storm is bound to lead to epic finger pointing. Lots of blame to go around. Trump will get much of it (some of it deserved), but I think we'll be hearing about Harvey just as much as we did about Katrina. BTW, the models - if they come true, are showing a 2nd landfall of Harvey on Tuesday in Galveston, and a powerful Hurricane Irma in Northeast US. Yikes.
