Issac & the Pumps

[infrogmation]

I'm planning on riding out TS/Hurricane Issac, in the highest 30% of New Orleans. Looks serious, though not a monster like K*tr*n*.

One of the underreported issues here is the dubious quality pumps put from Bushco crony contractors put in by ACOE instead of proven designs.

I've seen the pump station situation referred to several other places too.

All our friends chose to ride out Isaac at home as well.

I am praying constantly.

Be safe and well, you.

be sure your car is all gased up, etc. ASAP. But I'm sure you've already thought of that.

Take care.

Sounds like it might be a weak Cat 2 at landfall. Stay safe.
