It'll be 2 or 3 weeks minimum to get a majority back online, wouldn't doubt it takes over a month for most to be restored. Two thousand miles of lines are down. Not uncommon for it be 2 weeks or more.

They'll all probably be up in a couple more days, maybe a week. It's the folks in New Orleans proper that are going to really suffer, because they lost high voltage transmission towers that spanned the river. That is probably a lot more complicated than just replacing a bunch of creosote wood pole transmission lines. |

How much money did we spend after Katrina to rebuild their infrastructure so that this would NOT happen?

Longest I've seen around here is 10 days but that was because our repair workers were all sent out of state to help fix hurricane damage elsewhere. Seems they didn't think the storm would get this far. Sounds like some places could end up experiencing the same situation because of Ida.

Probably would have been better off abandoning all that land that is below sea level. |
