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.
Helene is officially a category 1 hurricane. The storm is developing and moving quickly. Atlanta has no become part of a high impact area with Helene passing west of the city as a strong tropical storm. This puts ATL on the dirty side (northeast side) of the storm, which will lead to heavy rainfall (over 7 inches and up to 10+ inches in local areas). You can expect downed tree and widespread power outages for much of the general metropolitan area.
You’d think with a statement like this ATL is the first line of impact zone but it’s definitely not
It's possible.
