Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

The lights are all blinking red.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

No one could have predicted…

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

I just listened to a bit of a news conference on the steps of New Orleans city hall and it’s better news that was feared a couple of days ago. The power is off but the levees have held. It’s not safe to return to the city yet. The streets are full of debris. AT&T cell phones are down in SE Louisiana. Verizon and T-Mobile are spotty. 911 infrastructure in southern parishes is damaged and 911 is down. They’re recommending that people go to fire stations in the city if they have an issue. 800K Entergy customers don’t have power, and there’s no estimate for time of restoration from Entergy until they’ve completed their damage assessment. There is standing water in the city but they believe that the water is mainly due to blocked storm drains. A good number of sewage pumping stations are down and don’t have backup power. Tap water is still drinkable. I’m sure people are suffering, but so far the Coast Guard isn’t picking people off of roofs.

    Are the levees out of danger?  I believe it took a little while after the storm had passed before the levees failed during  Katrina.

    That’s all very good news (relatively speaking). That was a MAJOR hit — slow-moving Cat-4 with a BIG wind field. But this time there’s a competent administration with someone other than a retired horse-trainer in charge of FEMA.

    @Baud: gonna be a lotta water coming down the river. But iirc, a major problem with Katrina was the storm surge, cuz it lingered offshore for so long, and that didn’t happen here.

    I will wait a few days before the threat of floods is over and the power is fully restored.  The outlying regions were hit the hardest and it is hard to reach the people who live in the outlying parishes when there is no way to communicate with them.

    The residents of NOLA were told that it could be “weeks” until the power is fully restored.  There is no cell service in NOLA right now and my sister’s adult child had to find a neighbor with a working landline to call my sister.  It looks grim for the locals.  They (my sister’s child)  will likely leave the city to go stay with relatives when the roads are safe because the city will take some time to recover.

    My mom stayed and seems OK. I told/reminded her that a relative invited her to stay but she doesn’t seem interested in making a choice to stay/go today. She might be waiting to find out how long it will be before the power goes back on.  Her facility has generators but still it will be miserable.

    She’s no horse trainer.

    Ms. Deanne Criswell was confirmed by the Senate on April 22, 2021 as the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

    Prior to her appointment, Ms. Criswell served as the Commissioner of the New York City Emergency Management Department from 2019 to 2021. She was responsible for oversight of the City’s efforts to plan and prepare for emergencies, educate the public about preparedness, coordinate emergency response and recovery, and disseminate emergency information. As NYC Emergency Management Commissioner, Ms. Criswell managed the City’s response to emergencies including extreme summer heat, large fires, and power outages including blackouts on the west side of Manhattan and in southern Brooklyn in July 2019. She also led the coordination of the City’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, preventing the collapse of the healthcare system, making sure no New Yorker went hungry, establishing a first of its kind non-congregate sheltering program, and supporting the country’s largest mass fatality program. She has also coordinated the City’s readiness for planned events including the 2019 Ticker Tape Parade honoring the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team and the 2019 New York City Marathon, the largest marathon in the world.

    She previously served at FEMA as the leader of one of the Agency’s National Incident Management Assistance Teams (IMAT) and as a Federal Coordinating Officer. In this role, Ms. Criswell was the primary Federal representative responsible for leading the agency’s response to and recovery from emergencies and major disasters, from severe flooding in North Dakota to hurricanes in South Carolina to fires in Colorado. She also served as the head of the Office of Emergency Management for the city of Aurora, Colorado, where she led strategic change in the city’s emergency and disaster planning. During her tenure there, Ms. Criswell coordinated transitional housing and family reunification efforts in response to receiving evacuees during the response to Hurricane Katrina.

    Bad as it is with the electric and cell service situation, this seems to be about as good as you can possibly wish for after being hit with a Category 4 storm. I was holding my breath for NO all weekend.

    Meanwhile, I had my own small disaster declaration this weekend. First, our air conditioning decided to crap out on Saturday on a weekend featuring 90+ temps and 80-90% humidity. We decided to ride that out and avoid jacked up repair bills by waiting for today to call the repairman. So we opened all our skylights and windows and hauled all our fans out the basement. We no sooner finished that than a deluge hit and we had to shut everything up again. And then opened it all again in an hour. Yesterday, I was doing laundry when the heating element in our dryer decided to give it up. So I hung the wet laundry on a bunch of drying racks on the deck and within an hour we had a huge storm that dropped another ton of rain that went on for about an hour. I gave up at that point.
    Dryer repairman will be there this afternoon and I sure hope we don’t need a new one. We are putting off the A/C repairman until we know about the dryer. Temperatures are in the low 80s today and expected to be in the mid-70s the rest of the week. We can survive without that if we have to.

    FEMA put out a picture the other day of a row of 18-wheeler trucks full of food, water, and generators parked just outside the hurricane’s expected path ready to go. None of that Shrub 43’s administration bullshit about having to wait until the city and state fill out the proper forms asking for help. I hope they can put up cooling centers where people can go for relief in high schools and libraries like LA, CA does during heat waves. Also send engineers to Entergy to get the grid back up ASAP.

    My understanding was that part of the failure during Katrina was that there were no levees – levees are great mounds of earth generally put in to protect (ie) a flood plain near a city – like Sacramento has. Instead New Orleans was relying on a much more fallible seawall, and when the water topped it, it was all over. Not sure what they did afterwards to protect NO – it may have a levee now.

    @mvr: Yes, the center of Hurricane Katrina went east of New Orleans so the counterclockwise flow was pushing Lake Pontchartrain over the city. And the storm surge was at a level that the levee/floodwall system was supposed to be able to handle (which was why people were initially so relieved), but some of the floodwalls were defective and they broke.

    Supposedly the system has been massively beefed up since then; we’ll see if it holds. But, remember, flooding takes time to develop–it’s not instantaneous.

    @Barbara: ​
      I lived in Florida in 2004. The reason our hurricanes went better is our STATE FEMA was better. Sure we got federal aid too, but it was possible because the state was on the ball. The reason our state was ready was the disaster of Hurricane Andrew where south Florida was without much of anything for weeks and afterwards, the state legislature and Governor decided never again. We had 4 major hurricanes in one year and handled it. Then the next year Katrina and the Texas one were total screw ups. I found out that the other southern states had not paid any attention to what happened to us and weren’t ready. That may still be the case.
    There is a lot of work to plan for hurricanes. I used to see notices in the paper about various conferences to plan for them. It’s not just the state, it’s private companies in different industries and utility companies, county and city governments and emergency services…..it all has to be planned and agreed. the state doesn’t just say do this, the other parties make their own plans. Utility companies go help other states all year so they have a built up huge amount of help owed to them when they need it. I watched the interstate afterwards and saw utility trucks coming in from all 50 states the day after each time. the interstate brings in massive convoys of trucks loaded with supplies. Power poles and generators, insurance agents, national guard…it is like a huge army of organized supplies. Home Depot stages trucks just beyond the path and then they start coming. But it starts with a state government. If they aren’t working, the Feds are really handicapped.

    @Baud:

    With climate change, the press will have a few more opportunities to play up minor imperfections in hurricane response.

    Most of the deaths from Ida (probably a few hundred in the fullness of time) will be due to COVID-19 cases caused by poor adherence to public health measures (vaccines, wearing masks indoors, primarily. Also distancing and ventilation.)
    These deaths (plus a larger number of long–COVID sufferers) will mostly be/have been caused by the Republican parties propaganda apparatuses (both media and social media), so the press will not talk about it, unless there are one or more flashy scientific papers about it and one or more slow news days.
    On the upside the (Dem) governor issued a statewide mask mandate at the beginning of August, which will end up saving a large number of lives, even with the expected only-partial mask discipline.

    @Matt McIrvin: my niece and her boyfriend have a house in Bayou Blue north of Houma a bit, all of Terrebonne an Lafourche parishes are without power possibly for a month, currently there is no running water parish-wide. The Terrebonne hospital s are being evacuated due to no water plus the roof tore off one of them. Huge numbers of buildings flattened in Grand Isle, Houma, Laplace, Lafourche, Golden meadow.
    miles of snapped power poles and down trees and wires…checke out Houma Today’s website

We did it!

We raised the 25,000 for The Civics Center, and with the external matches, that gives them $60,000 for this Spring effort!

You guys rock!
