Not claiming to be any kind of expert in rainfall runoff, but roof top rescues from a foot of rain, that doesn't seem likely in fairly flat terrain.

Laplace is getting hammered by both surge and rain-induced flash flooding. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I know it’s not land perse but it’s not the Gulf either so 9 hours off the Gulf and still 100+? Whatever else do that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Several barges came loose during the storm. I hope that's not what cause the levee failures or transmission line collapse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what generation is local or on this side of the transmissions outages, but could be a while till back up. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Entergy said they had a load imbalance after the transmission lines tripped/failed. Too much load, not enough supply. Probably had to load shed and lost the local generators eventually. Will be an interesting recap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
