No power. Sewage out. No water. Nearly 1 million structures in Louisiana affected. It’s 89 degrees there as I type this. Jefferson Parish estimates 20 days to restore power. We haven’t heard from any crew member west of Orleans Parish. No cell/internet. Why isn’t this trending?

I have received word tonight that @POTUS has approved my request for a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration due to the severe impacts of #HurricaneIda. I am extremely grateful to Pres. Biden for his swift response to my request. 📄 https://t.co/vCFzXHaoSR. #lagov #lawx #Ida

The Mississippi River is 200’ deep at New Orleans, and a half mile wide.
That’s a wall of water as tall as a skyscraper and as wide as a city block, with 2,000 miles of water behind it.
Ida stopped the flow, then briefly reversed it. https://t.co/u9vFNRnHMu

BREAKING: Biden’s FEMA reveals it sent Louisiana 200 ambulances, 139k tarps, 3.5 million meals, & 2.5 million liters of water BEFORE Ida hit. Trump made California beg for wildfire aid and threw paper towels at Puerto Rico(and delayed $20 billion in aid). RT TO THANK BIDEN!👏👏👏
