hazwoper Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 From Entergy re. The outage: A company spokesperson said the storm had caused a "load imbalance to the company’s transmission and generation" and that Entergy is "making every effort to identify and rectify." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is insane rainfall rates across much of the FFE area, with plenty of rain already having fell... In addition Laplace has been getting hammered by surge (see earlier videos posted). Not sure if someone posted it or not, but also saw a video on twitter of flooding in the Lakeview community in NOLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrmax Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 6 minutes ago, hazwoper said: It’s a “catastrophic” transmission issue so I’d say perhaps major damage to main substation and/or massive downing of high tension transmission lines. In a case like this there are probably so many distribution lines down and short circuits that might as well turn the thing off. If the Transmission system goes down that just makes restoration a whole lot longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaPo Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 1 minute ago, Will - Rutgers said: it's just crazy how many of the big storms over the last decade or so 1) have RI'd right up to landfall and 2) have basically stopped moving shortly after landfall More resilient high pressure systems? It might be similar to why there’s been more numerous heat domes in the past decade as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like maybe half over? Maybe. I just look at the radar and the reduction in stronger returns coming in from south of NO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is multiple strong feeder bands training over the FFE area... and with the system moving *slowly* north, that is not going to be changing anytime soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they learn anything? Two redundant power feeds were installed post Katrina as well as a power plant. They lost everything. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Sounds like flooding is bad in the eastern neighborhoods of Laplace. People posting on FB/Twitter for rescues. I checked some of the addresses and they are all in the same area just south of 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grep1 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 How states, counties, townships etc along the coast, allow surface transmission lines is beyond me. Makes absolutely no sense. Let’s put a tree in the ground and attach 480 to it. Hopefully since we call it a pole it will survive 150 mph winds… insanity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would put himself in danger in order to get footage. Most chasers played it safe and stayed away from the vulnerable surge areas but he was way south. He has no regard for other people then expects everyone to bail him out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rescues until at least 24 hours after a wind speed reading of 200 or above. The air has to heal. 3 1 24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
