From Nola.com:
A slow-moving Hurricane Ida has left all of Orleans Parish customers without power due to "catastrophic transmission damage," according to Entergy New Orleans.From WWL-TV reporter David Hammer, "BREAKING @WWLTV: New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board has lost all three feeder lines from Entergy. That means the agency lost 12 megawatts of 60-cycle power to run its newer drainage pumps and is left with only Turbine 6 to make 15 megawatts in-house. #HurricaneIda"
The intense storm had caused all eight transmission lines into the New Orleans area to go down, spokesman Brandon Scardigli said in an emailed statement. That created a load imbalance that knocked all power generation in the region offline, Scardigli said.
The Sewage and Water Board of New Orleans sent out status update via Twitter:
"Although we have lost all Entergy power, our teams are working quickly and decisively to make up for this with our self-generated power sources, including Turbines 4, 5, and 6 and EMD, as well as backup generators located at our drainage pumping stations. The Entergy loss of power is a significant loss of power for our 60 hz pumps and the 25 hz pumps we power through the frequency changers, but we are using our self-generated sources of power to drain stormwater and pump drinking water into the city. This power loss also impacts our sewer pumping stations. Currently there is no backup power to operate any of those that were impacted. We are assessing how many of the 84 stations are impacted but the number may be very significant. We have worked to obtain backup power for some of these stations & we will mobilize those units when it is safe to traverse the city. In order to prevent sewage backups, we have asked residents to limit water usage at home, thus decreasing the amount of wastewater we must remove. This is a rapidly-developing situation. We will keep you updated as circumstances develop. Our Emergency Hotline, 52-WATER, is down. Please call 504-864-8266 if you are experiencing a sewer or water emergency."A local weatherman said this is the worst he has seen, "This is the hardest day of my 30 year career. And tomorrow isn't looking much better. We are being devastated."
Major building damage reported, "The roof has blown off New Orleans Municipal and Traffic Court according to Chief Judge Sean Early:
"My opinion, that building will probably be condemned and mowed down...we got it from the ground up, now we're getting it from the top down."

There is no scientific evidence that exposure to "normal levels" of radiofrequency emission is harmful. 5G beam-steering antennas will only ever aim directly, with pin-point accuracy, at receiving electronic devices they are designed for. Don't worry about variable power-density levels. They will not ever be aimed at anything else.
Even when you are out in public spaces where advertising or propagandizing is technically legal. Where such can be broadcast through radiofrequency into the air since that is legal according to the FCC. You are required to receive any and all interference as you might be an electronic device. See the back of any electronic device for a similar disclaimer.
Millibar (MB): The standard unit of measurement for atmospheric pressure used by the National Weather Service. One millibar is equivalent to 100 newtons per square meter or . 029 inches of Mercury. Standard surface pressure is 1013.2 millibars.
The conversion formula to convert inch of mercury (inHg) into millibar (mbar) over the atmospheric pressure range can be calculated as follows:1 mbar = 100 pascals (Pa)1 inHg = 3386.39 pascals (Pa)mbar value x 100 Pa = inHg value x 3386.39 Pa.mbar value = inHg value x 33.8639.
what are they trying to hide?
Why is it that mountain peaks retain snow? Why when you go higher into the atmosphere, nearer our sun, it gets colder? It is the question of pressurized atmosphere, of water vapor and other condensed gases in atmosphere. It is this material that is seemingly excited by radiations, creating induced movements, imparting sensible heat and weather system movements from such excitement. I think the atmosphere is more variable than we often imagine.
May be trying to hide how this phenomenon can be variously presssurized/perturbed for effect. By virtue of being aware of units of measure, of such, I confer upon you status of a gas-tronaut.
"It is this material that is seemingly excited by radiations, creating induced movements, imparting sensible heat and weather system movements from such excitement."
'sensible heat' contains no heat. and is simply a measurement of the 'concentration' or the 'intensity' of heat energy. but you are on the right path.
Enthalpy is what drives heat transfer in our atmosphere. . in truth, in my many years of posting here.. I was still not prepared for an intelligent query..

Enthalpy is what just wiped out New Orleans.
A lot of people don't know this but as acorns, trees attend summer camp and school. Live oak acorns learn and aspire to grow, build strong roots and branches and live to be many hundreds of years old. (Once they get over ~100 years their lifespan actually increases.*) They hope to provide homes for critters and trees for kids to play on.
Meanwhile, junk oak acorns attend little terrorist training camps where they are taught to grow hyper fast (steroid type stuff) and then, if they're lucky, when they fall (in no more than 75 years) their aspirational goals as there in camp programmed are:
1) do at least some damage. If a tree falls in the forest . . nevermind.
2) fall on a car;
3) fall on a home;
4) kill someone.
You see, Tolkein had it right when he said most trees hated people (but live oaks do love us) as they were jealous of our mobility.
*Just my guess.
