Not saying this salt water intrusion will affect everyone in south Louisiana BUT Dumb bel Edwards has applied for Federal emergency declaration. https://gov.louisiana.gov/index.cfm/newsroom/detail/4269 https://lailluminator.com/2023/09/22/saltwater-intrusion/
Want anyone who might be affected to know ahead so that you can order or build water filtration system. I don't trust Dumb bel and I sure as hell don't trust the Feds. My husband and I ordered both a water filtration system and 3 extra months of food because that is how long this problem is forecast to last at the longest. Grocery stores on the West Bank and other areas are already getting crazy. We live in a different area in south Louisiana but I predict it will get just as nuts.
I was in NOLA a few months ago and was shocked to see the degraded condition of the city, roads, derelict buildings etc. so sad. Now this… very sorry this is happening in your home. Praying for you and your community.
Thank-you, Bluridgegirl. Thankfully our small town about an hour from NOLA is still pretty safe and well kept. NOLA has had Democrat mayors since the 1800s. It was the "Queen City" until Moon Landrieu father of Mary and Mitch, took office in 1970. He managed in 2 terms to turn the city from one where people, including children, could walk downtown and feel safe to the cesspit it has become.
I was married there and have been there 6 times in the last 10 years.
Can confirm they are intentionally ruining that fine city.
