Hurricane Ida: The Aftermath

If you're in the ICU with covid in LA, it may be over.

That’s absolutely horrible for everyone involved

Posted in a thread I started about something unrelated to COVID.

Where you mentioned COVID misery anyway? And once the vegetable in chief screws this up too you’ll scurry back to the COVID and Vaccine threads and you know it

 

[volfanhill]

It was a joke. Playing off the idiocy in these forums and the interwebs, discussing not helping unvaxxed people.

My bad man

How are those wonderful green job projects working now with NO electricity?
Do they have those solar panels up & working good in the hospital's ICU rooms?

No worries, I should use blue font sometimes, but just refuse to.

We need people living and working there. Regardless of how you feel about federal funding. Yea let's just not operate the port of New Orleans or work the offshore oil rigs.

Maybe dig out parts of CA or a southern border moat and fill in NOLA so it's above sea level. Win win. Shovel ready.

All that wind and can't use windmills.

16 years after Katrina, New Orleans still does not know how to do an evacuation. Cantrell and John Bel Edwards should both lose their jobs for this level of incompetence. If this storm jogged 20 miles to the East, its Katrina 2.0 for New Orleans.

Hmmm... surely there is a Republican somewhere they will blame.

Exactly.

Now you are pulling up random tweets.

You're getting desperate.

You know Biden's moment to do and say something is coming soon.

How do you spell "RELIEF"? I-M-P-E-A-C-H

Winter is coming...

‘It won’t work': New Orleans mayor on advice about contraflow for Ida

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell was advised by Gov. John Bel Edwards and the National Weather Service that contraflow would not work in the city because there wasn’t enough time to implement it ahead of Hurricane Ida’s landfall, the mayor told WDSU anchors Gina Swanson and Sula Kim.

Speaking in a phone interview Saturday night, Cantrell provided details behind the decision not to issue a mandatory evacuation order or enact contraflow, which involves flowing all lanes of traffic in a single direction away from the city.

You need to mature…..a lot.

 

[LouderVol]

Not just Covid. People are in the ICU for things other than Covid!

Yeah but EL doesnt care about them.

Those two sound a lot like Blanco and Nagin from 16 years ago.

Do they have The Weather Channel in Louisiana?

 

[MG1968]

Do the have The Weather Channel in Louisiana?

The Weather Channel can’t mandate contraflow and it can’t mandate using idled school buses.

Opened this thread thinking "why is this in the politics section?"....... then I started reading the comments.....

Biden needs to save NOLA the "chocolate city" if he knows what's good for his presidency.

Ida now a tropical storm after leaving 1 dead, more than a million without power: LIVE UPDATES

 

[Sin City Vol]

And the whole country waits anxiously holding their breath to see how that dumbass vegetable in the WH is going to screw up the emergency response to this disaster. For the people of NOLA let’s hope the moron doesn’t turn this into another ongoing fiasco but let’s face it he hasn’t fixed anything yet!

Supposed to be handing out paper towels in the next few days. Republicans should applaud

LMFAO actually if we can keep his meddling to that level only that might be a net win

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Poorly planned hospital systems in a big liberal city that can’t handle a major issue

Ridiculous take.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Yeah but EL doesnt care about them.

She doesn’t really care about the COVID cases either other than to bask in their misery.

The first several replies are snarky in a thread about a natural disaster where people are suffering. And then OP goes snark. Never change, VN.

Hoping for the best outcome of all the people dealing with the aftermath.
