Been Busy.
My screw-up earlier with respect to diesel preparations has been rectified. We've got 18 drums on the floor level awaiting the next truck delivery today or tomorrow. We had to empty all drums into the tanks, move them down there, work on the building's small emergency power generator to get the freight elevator working (this included hand-pumping a couple of drums of fuel into the tank), and a whole lot of other crap.... Not gonna bore you with the mundane.

Then we had to take a router down to city hall to try to get the city rolling on their internet. That included wading through water. God, the city is a mess when you head down Poydras that way. The Superdome looks like the Jenin refugee camp. God help this city. Whether or not it ought to be rebuilt is secondary to the real issue: can it be rebuilt? Looking around, I wouldn't know where or how to start. Good luck with that.

It may be hard to imagine, but you are some of the few that have the resolve to stay when everyone else's is wavering. The hope in rebuilding lies in people like you, who are standing up to the situation when everyone else considers it hopeless.

Having made it through the '92 riots and the '94 Northridge quakes, I feel for your plight and commend your strength and intelligence.

And when this is all over, I know who I want watching my back when the next Apocalypse hits(I'm betting zombies)! You are Da Man!

Good luck, God speed and don't forget to keep your powder dry.

I was reflecting earlier on the similarities between the L.A. riots and what is happening in N.O. Thank goodness this stuff is NOT making it out to the mainstream media. Ever heard of MASS HYSTERIA ? It's an ugly thing..I was in Van Nuys for the Northridge earthquake. Wild ride.

I'm following along from Shreveport. We are watching Fox News and can't believe that the city of New Orleans is dying.. unbelieveable!

Wish we could send ammo your way....

Anyone have family in the ArkLaTex who needs to be notified?

glad to hear situation is improved, and you are a real trooper to venture out to city hall.

More help is on the way, but can't post details just yet. Will find I way to let you know, perhaps iirc in a few hours.

Heya jgurney,

If I'm still an op in the freenode channel, I'll be back hopefully sometime soon. I'm at work right now and can't get on. How are things holding up?

Rebuilding
(Anonymous)
2005-09-01 09:14 pm UTC (link)
Well, if they rebuild it make sure you bring in some landfill and probably raise it up so the city is not below sea level...I'm no engineer though...Just use the rubbish that is the super dome to raise it up...
Just my opinion..
This company can aid you I believe..
