That’s actually the worse because it just dumps more and more water making everything that much more difficult. It will rise the water table where even a small shower will cause additional flooding for weeks after.
Exactly. It’s one thing to get shelled by the wind….another to also get the immediate and lingering flood threats.
Thankfully winds are way down. But forward speed is only 8mph. Flooding is going to be insanity.
Yeah, that shit's no fun. We have a small generator that lets us run the fridge and freezer and such, but it's not big enough to power everything in the house, and the panel that was installed when they built the house isn't large enough to put a transfer switch in anyway, so I can't run my central air when the power quits. We were down for about a week in early August last year, so we were basically staying in my parents' house until the power came back on. Not shit compared to this, for sure.
That’s not good at all. I had imagined cables being down off an intact tower.
I read there were 8 such high capacity lines running into the city and all 8 went down. Not sure if the other 7 are this bad….but it’s bad.
When we do lose power from a storm here the line men that come in from all over are literal hero’s to us. Last Hurricane I saw line trucks from KY or TN heading down the turnpike and….I won’t lie….something got in my eye.
That might sound totally first world spoiled to some, but this time of year and after a big wet storm the heat and humidity is doubly brutal.
He's probably having to make irrational statements and call people names for no reason to their face and in person now, with no electricity.
I can’t see that. Maybe 4-6 weeks for a small percentage. But they will need to get at least some power in there ASAP. Apparently all sewage pumps are out right now too.
Georgia Power and Alabama Power were turned away from helping with Hurricane Sandy relief because they weren’t union.

He can probably just swim up there.
