Hurricane Ida's 120mph winds and 'catastrophic' storm surge tear roofs off buildings and make the Mississippi River flow backwards: More than 750K people lose power including hospital where staff are now ventilating patients by HAND

• Hurricane Ida reached the US mainland at 11:55am EST on Sunday, swamping the barrier island of Grand Isle as landfall came just to the west at Port Fourchon, Louisiana
• Winds hit 150mph, with gusts of up to 165mph; The eye is 17 miles in diameter, bringing flash floods, thunder, lightning, life-threatening storm surges and tornados to areas along the Gulf Coast
• Ida maintained Category 4 winds for about six hours after making landfall at around 1pm EST on Sunday before it weakened to a Category 3 hurricane, with sustained winds of at least 120mph
• Port Fourchon is home to the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, the country's largest privately owned crude oil terminal; Energy companies halted the production of 1.6 million oil barrels as storm approached on Friday
• Hurricane-strength winds extended 50 miles out from Ida's eye, forcing New Orleans to suspend emergency medical services as the storm crawled northwest at 13 miles per hour
• New Orleans and the parishes surrounding the city have been placed under a flash flood warning as of Sunday evening. The warnings will remain in effect until at least 11pm EST
• In Lafourche Parish, officials said their 911 line and the phone lines that service the Parish Sheriff Office have been knocked out; Local residents are advised to call 985-772-4810 or 985-772-4824
• A generator in ICU of Thibodaux Regional Health System in Lafourche Parish failed, forcing hospital staff to bag and transport patients on life support to another wing of the facility where there was still electricity
• Fears it could breach levees strengthened in the wake of Category 3 Hurricane Katrina, which devastated Louisiana and Mississippi 16 years ago on Sunday

Only the ones who posted conspiracy theories about how hurricanes aren't real so they're not leaving.

Pay your rent or die. Gee, wonder what's better to focus on.

Fucking idiot.

Louisiana power outages renew questions about utility giant’s preparedness for storms.

The privatization of America's utilities is at a detriment to it's own citizens.

Did they have months to evacuate for free, and did it only take 15 minutes of their time?

If not, this is not comparable.

Yes.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Yes.

No. It takes more than 15 minutes to get clear and they didn't have months.

And MOVING to another city takes a lot more than 15 minutes and is certainly not free.

These two situations are not comparable.

You don’t drive for a few minutes to get away from a hurricane. I assume some don’t leave because money, or extended family that can’t leave (older folks) and they don’t want to abandon. Some just stubborn or lazy. But a little more complicated than a shot.

So laugh at stubborn or lazy people who dont evacuate and die in a hurricane?

If they go out of their way to say hurricanes don’t exist or are fake news or it’s “just a storm (flu)” or you can just eat worm medicine and it’ll go away then yeah don’t feel sorry for them. Haven’t heard of thousands of people doing this.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I heard if you take a worm dehorser the hurricane won't hurt you.

Seven Louisiana nursing homes ordered closed for evacuating patients to warehouse before Hurricane Ida
Seven Louisiana nursing homes on Saturday were ordered to close immediately because their patients were evacuated to a single warehouse ahead of Hurricane Ida, the Louisiana Department of Health said.

Seven patients have died since the move, and five of the deaths have been classified as storm-related fatalities, the health department said in a statement.


Department personnel visited the warehouse on Monday and Tuesday and "observed conditions that have caused great concern to the State Health Officer that he reasonably believes may cause a danger to the public life, health, and safety," according to a separate state order prohibiting the return of residents to the seven facilities.

NBC affiliate WDSU in New Orleans reported that a Louisiana Department of Health spokeswoman said generators failed and patients were on mattresses on the floor without food or clean clothes, and with the odor of human waste filling the air as the warehouse was inundated by stormwater.

The spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

State inspectors who went to the warehouse in the town of Independence "were expelled from the property" and "were subject to intimidation by the owner of the seven nursing facilities," the health department said.

A company associated with the nursing homes, most of which are in the New Orleans metro area, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday night.

The state health department said it moved the 843 patients from the warehouse Wednesday to other facilities or special needs shelters.

"The lack of regard for these vulnerable residents' wellbeing is an affront to human dignity," Louisiana's health officer, Dr. Joseph Kanter, said in the statement. "We have lost trust in these nursing homes to provide adequate care for their residents. We are taking immediate action today to protect public health."

State health Secretary Dr. Courtney N. Phillips warned: "There is more to come."


AARP Louisiana director Denise Bottcher said in a statement Friday that the organization is calling for state and federal investigations "into the warehousing of vulnerable, medically fragile adults and seniors during Hurricane Ida. "


"Nursing homes have a duty to care for their residents, which includes planning for emergencies and evacuations," she said. "These tragic deaths are the result of a complete failure of oversight, enforcement, and planning dating back more than a decade."

Gov. John Bel Edwards has vowed an investigation that will include whether there was an intentional effort to obstruct inspection of the warehouse.

Sad to see the loss from hurricanes...I grew up in tornado country Iowa and have seen whole farms destroyed...always floods the Mississippi and Missouri rivers...can remember filling sand banks with everyone in the county when the floods came....nature is the great equalizer
