Over 700,000 people remain without electricity in Louisiana, and President Biden has said the government will “restore power as fast as we possibly can.” Former Commander of the Joint Task Force Katrina Lt. Gen. Russel Honore says fixing the grid is the key. “If you can’t communicate, you can’t coordinate.”

It was a human moment my friend, not your age ❤️
They only totally lost power to ONE city? Gregg Abbott can plunge an entire STATE into darkness.
@bdplmr9559 Including disasters.
Wait until Covid takes out so much lives that the entire COUNTRY plunge into darkness. Then one of these storms will finish it. Too bad it’ll also plunge all Canadian provinces below 60th parallel, bar Quebéc, into darkness.
Yeah, has Abbott done anything to improve Texas’ electrical grid since last winter?
@K Cuzz He’s been too busy bringing back Jim Crow and coat hanger abortions.
@bdplmr9559 Size matters. That’s why you’re so angry.
If only we had that magic Sharpie, we could have re-directed the storm all together! 😂🤣
@Tavernum so? I have 2 YouTube accounts!
He didn’t even chuck out some hand towel.
@N Q you are wrong. But you like being wrong. Now get back to work washing your lord and savior’s car. Maybe he’ll wink at you and you’ll be fulfilled. Next whackjob?
@N Q 😂😂😂👏👏👏🤣🤣 When are you touring? Your fellow clown lost to Sleepy Joe and you’re still having nightmares about it
This hurricane actually came to Alabama lol
The trolls are coming out of mommy’s basement today!!! Guess they have nothing better to do!
Triggered?
@Green Sneakers & Hot Dogs Not so triggered as to march on Washington DC September 18. 😈
@TooBadThatDidn’tKillMe good luck. better wear your flak jacket. police will be told to shoot on site any person trying to enter capital this time around, Vlad.
@TooBadThatDidn’tKillMe traveling from st pete russia just for this, boris? lol
@Green Sneakers & Hot Dogs You’re the one asking the OP if they’re triggered by the trolls. Oh and there’s a MAGA loser impersonating my profile as well as a bunch of other people.
You mean this _can’t_ be fixed with a photo op paper towel toss? 😳
Lol 🤣 Trump won! Joe cheated!
@N Q You should go see a psychologist about that shared psychosis. 😈
The problem is when you add up all the Storm Zones, Flood Zones, and Fire Zones, there are no more normal zones left.
Michigan….
@Joel Runyan Is t it a tornado Zone, or is that an earthquake zone. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
End Zones!
@Todd Dillon 👍
@Joel Runyan Didn’t they have flooding in Michigan? I lived there for 7 years (30 years ago) and barely survived the winters, but they are probably more mild now with global warming.
Pass the infrastructure bill!!!
Off topic, but a solution for abuse of power would help everything and everyone. Trump stole the entire Federal budget while in office. Just ask Mnuchin.
Okay sure 🤣 Love how Trump lives on your head 24/7. You might want to call your psychiatrist/ change your meds now! Trump is coming back!
Off topic, why would you post your picture looking the way you do?
Google narcotic anonymous. They can help you.
The levy’s held, the army corps of engineers do not get the credit that they deserve. The infrastructure bill that’s moving trough the house and Senate. Every state in the union needs crucial infrastructure bill passed now . This is exactly what the rebuilding of the infrastructure bill is for . Get it passed.
Only problem is to fix properly the total of infrastructure I place my bet on roughly 6 trill , 1 trill is just
lipstick
Gives me such hope to see Gen. Honore on the job here. He is such a hero from Katrina. Knows what needs to be done & will get it done. Thank you, Gen. & God bless you.
Fuelcell Energy Inc. Can help set up a mini grid in the middle of any cities, and next to any building with their hydrogen fuel cell system.
Why aren’t the power lines underground ?
Respect for Gen. Honore – wish he was still running the recovery efforts, he did a great job!
Why can’t we do what some of the Europeans do put the power lines under ground so it won’t be so much damage?
because european countries invest a lot of money for their people – unlike US
You need to put the cables underground
Time to pass Biden’s Infrastructure and jobs plan to invest in ageing infrastructure and future proofing against climate change.
The bridge dwellers are out in droves cheering for natural disasters all to try to “own the libs” and it’s pathetic.
We need infrastructure and electric systems appropriate to today, not the 1950’s.
Blame tgat on your governors mayors and senators
@Claire Delotte not to forget the privatisation of electricity utilities for whom ‘more is never enough’ except for upgrading the system.
Why does America still build its grid like its 1940? Why are local and district lines buried to stop wind damage? It’s crazy….
This is another reason why the 2 infrastructure bills need to be pushed through as quickly as possible.
