I hope everyone affected by this is okay! I cannot do much financially, but I'm sending my prayers.
Any updates? I haven't been able to watch it closely due to my little one. My prayers have been with you all today. Please let everyone be okay, dear Lord.
Thank you! Just got the chance to turn on the WC. Between the flooding and the tornado threats, I can't imagine how scary this is for them. I live in NE Tennessee, so we usually get the rain/flooding from these types of storms. I hope our members and their families and friends are okay. Hopefully we can get some updates from them soon.Sustained winds at last update were 105 MPH. All of New Orleans is without power, except for generators.
Me either, especially the fear of not knowing what's happening. It's going to be a long night for them. My heart is aching for them.I can't imagine the fear, in the dark, with flooding.

Tornado warnings for parts of Mississippi. Ugh. My granddaughter attends Tulane and she and her house mates went to one of their homes in Mississippi. I assume she's okay but now I wish they'd all have gone to my daughter's home in FL. Waiting to hear from her...
Well, well, well. We've had a catastrophic event in the City of New Orleans.
The power grid fell into the River.
Residents are not allowed back for 72 hours. Entergy texted power outages for 3 weeks.
Stunned.

Power was knocked out Sunday night to the entire New Orleans metropolitan area with the failure of all eight transmission lines that deliver electricity to Louisiana's largest city, the utility company Entergy Louisiana reported.Is this for real? Not doubting, but I can’t find anything about this online. Do you have a link? It sounds awful!
I absolutely will include the above mentioned in my prayers.I can't imagine the fear, in the dark, with flooding.
ETA: Don't forget to include Alabama and extreme north-west Florida in your prayers. Tks.
I am very much hoping that looting does not occur. I understand looting for food and water if you're hungry and thirsty, though I honestly would leave a note (will pay you back). And I totally would pay them back.
Acting like everything is now a free for all...because of a disaster, very much upsets me.
Sorry if I sound naive, I'm not.
However for me, we need laws and order for a successful society.
I truly hope that I don't read about looting. JMHO

One transmission tower collapsed into the Mississippi River, according to the Jefferson Parish Emergency Management Department.
U.S. President Joe Biden declared a major disaster in Louisiana, ordering federal assistance to bolster recovery efforts in more than two-dozen storm-stricken parishes.
