Bro your chart will have to save us for the next 4 years since Trump is banning information releases

He can do nothing about private institutions or academia practicing science.

His current right-hand man runs a company based on it. It makes too much money. These folks are trying to funnel money to the private sector.

I'm peeping game, so I'm trying to navigate. The people who care about science will continue to care and educate.
 
Yeah, I’ve never seen a hurricane sit on an area for nearly a week. That storm was something else.

Katrina was only bad because the levees broke. From what I can remember, N.O. survived the actually storm impact. I remember seeing people chilling on Bourbon Str like shit didn’t happen after the storm passed. Then all of a sudden everything is flooded.

I’m sorry, to this day I feel like it was a set up and the hurricane was the perfect excuse.

I’m sure you know that city officials have the right to flood lower lining areas to save certain areas.

I went work in Nola years after Katrina, we were reinforcing a canal near UNO.
In my crew was this one cat that lived in the 9th ward. Dude said he heard the explosions then next thing you know the water came. I don’t remember the time frame he said or even if he said a time frame.

The reason we were reinforcing the levee, land had washed away from under the concrete wall and flooded the area.
I started working with them around the 60% completion phase. I don’t see the patching work or anything like that.


One crew task was driving down 40 foot sheet piling into the ground.
Some other cats who ran equipment, dumped dirt over the freshly install piling, then compacted the dirt.

We dug a two foot deep by two wide trench. Yes I was with the Hebrew slaves per say. The concrete finishers built this nice lil a walkway along this section.



You’d think with a statement like this ATL is the first line of impact zone but it’s definitely not


This the levee reinforcement

I was talking about during this discussion.


The levee wall was built years ago, all we did was reinforce with sheet pile wall then covered with a 2x2 concrete footing at ground level, then built a walkway along the levee. Not every section received a walkway.
(The last two picture was supposedly a house that Brad and Angelina Jolie owned. I fatherly worked on that side of the canal, so I couldn’t confirm or deny that allegations :lol:. The few times I was over there, I was definitely looking to see that mouf)

For a quick second, I thought you were driving on Mirabeau Avenue in NOLA.

I hope the S&WB's pumps get the power they need in order to run at full capacity, before it's too late.
 
Great eye

In this the pump station you’re talking about on Warrington Drive


Yes, that is exactly what I was writing about. I think that is named DPS-04 if I remember correctly. Should be near Pratt Park. I've got family that still live in that neighborhood. Don't ask me why they decided to rebuild, instead of leaving when they had a financial chance to do so.

Yep Pratt Park is directly in front of the pump station.
When you love a place it is what it is…

Many people left but many stayed


It’s amaze me how fucking different life is once you cross the canal.
It’s fucking night and day

You have Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie that type of living on the left side vs Ray Ray, Keddie and Sugarloaf types living on the ring side

That shit blow my mind
