Ida was a monster, my aunt who lives in upstate NTY told me it was a mess and the news with the flooded subway looks horrible.

Must say we are VERY lucky cause we got power back yesterday morning- it went away a couple of times but it came back- when a LOT of NOLA is still in the dark!

Thanks for using some precious cell phone power to check in. It sounds like one of the rougher ones you've been through. Glad no loss of health or property.

The Bourbon St webcam looked not too bad before & after. Most of the brunt was at night & I didn't check at 2am.

You guyses are family!
Thanks for your concern!

Climate Change IS HERE TO STAY!

And ya know, we had plenty of warning about warming. I get chills when I see this. Bell Labs educational movies 1958:

Also, 20/20 hindsight. Remedies would have been less draconian if we started earlier. Now, all of our backs are up against the wall, and I mean globally. One of the biggest things we could do right now is to drastically decrease methane emissions as the positive response, relatively speaking, is pretty fast.
