Yep. I thought we were in good shape for Ida in the Gretna area. But nope.
Honestly ... being within the levee system and with enhanced flood controls put in place over the last 15 years ... the real issue here in the suburbs is extended power outage. There are ALREADY a bunch of bucket trucks out here on the West Bank now. And I don't mean convoying on the highway or all parked together in a staging area. I mean trucks at poles and guys up in the buckets. Maybe doing pre-storm inspections of some kind?
