"hurricane ida" Discussed on Weather Geeks
"As we've gotten into august. September has found a way to develop not all of them have become hurricanes or major canes but it seems like even in the face of some hostile wind shear warm waters have fueled storms that have formed in large numbers in and i especially took note recently of things like mindy and nicholas in the gulf of mexico that became tropical storms and intensified all the way up to landfall very quickly in environments that were not ideal for formation in strengthening. When you consider the wind shear but it just seems like the warmer than average waters in the gulf and elsewhere have enabled the storms to overachiever. Anyway you know an interesting point you may because we had a student at the university of georgia that intern with a national service a couple years ago and he did a a at a steady on hurricane. Michael and one of the things. I recall from his record out on his research is that michael was similar in that the wind shear at times would suggest that it would not have gotten a strong as it. Did it sort of overcame this narrative that you don't want sort of a lot of wind shear there are but as you as you noted the as i told someone the other day. There are many pieces of pie to get a strong hurricane. So it's interesting i mean. Are you seeing that trending in general or something. You noticed recent years. Oh just one of those things that passes the eyeball test. You know you see a likely seeing in the past years when wind shear was moderate to strong that storms really struggled and we've had some storms that have struggled but it just hasn't been a year where a lot of storms failed to form. Seems like everything that was a candidate system at least became a storm and then a got even stronger than we forecast. And that's becoming such a common occurrence not every cases like an idea where it goes from tropical storm into cat for in three days. But you still.

The white house is hoping to turn to its economic agenda marketplaces and dealers on the line with more of those priorities. That's right david. The white house is looking to pass more than four trillion dollars in domestic spending. Which includes that bipartisan infrastructure. Bill that biden is arguing is even more pressing after hurricane ida devastated the gulf coast and left some of the northeast flooded and he approved major disaster declarations up north. And he's also touring the damage in new york and new jersey today. And you know that he's going to be pushing that build back better agenda in the process and the bulk of the spending would come as a budget reconciliation package. It's called with the price tag of some three and a half trillion dollars with a t but sounds like summer worried about spending too much. Yeah that's exactly right. That's spending would effectively direct toward different social programs. Things like family services health. lots of environmental programs. Now senator joe manchin of west virginia. He's a pivotal democrat. Whose vote is key to getting anything through the senate. He's already said that. He's worried about the government racking up so much debt but the biden team is confident that he's going to be persuaded now. Biden's also continued to argue for a higher corporate tax rate to help pay for community. College paid family the expansion of child tax credit as well but in terms of capturing the spotlight afghanistan and pandemic. These are not going away. That's exactly right.

"hurricane ida" Discussed on Aviation News Talk podcast
"Updates including information about other pilot organizations that are also helping in the wake of the storm. Hurricane ida was the second most intense hurricane to strike the us state of louisiana on record only behind hurricane katrina i had reached a peak intensity as it approached the northern gulf coast with maximum sustained winds of one hundred and fifty miles per hour. It made landfall this past sunday. August twenty ninth on the louisiana coastline. The president approved emergency declarations for the states of louisiana and mississippi before the hurricane made landfall on monday ida. We can steadily overland becoming a tropical depression as it turned to the north and northeast remnants of the storm produced a destructive tornado and catastrophic flash flooding in the northeast yesterday. The governor of new jersey declared a state of emergency due to flooding and this morning on thursday. The governor of new york also declared a state of emergency in new york more than half a foot of rainfall in just a few hours streets and subway platforms into rivers. Emergency responders in boats rescued people from the rooftops of cars but louisiana bore the brunt of the storm earlier today. Senator john kennedy of louisiana and the rest of the louisiana congressional delegation wrote a letter asking for disaster relief funding in it. They wrote quote. Hurricane item moves slowly through louisiana causing catastrophic wind damage and flooding in numerous parishes and leaving nearly a million people statewide without electricity which experts say will take weeks to restore at this time. Many communities remain without access to drinking water food gasoline and basic needs while temperatures remain in excess of one hundred degrees so it does sound like a fairly dr situation. Unfortunately the remnants of the slow moving storm prevented most pilot organizations from launching flights until yesterday wednesday and now groups like arab bridge and operation airdrop a racing to fly disaster relief supplies into hard hit areas of louisiana of links and the show notes to these and other organizations were using pilots to fly disaster relief and i encourage you to contact them to see if you can help either by flying airplane to carry supplies or by donating money so these organizations can buy supplies for other pilots who are able to fly into these areas also.

It was founded sixteen years ago during hurricane katrina as a way for aviation businesses to use their expertise to organize relief missions in totally organized one hundred and fifty five flights airlifting a quarter of a million pounds of critical supplies for hurricane katrina survivors. Subsequently bridges helped organize g pilots to fly relief flights for other hurricanes and for the two thousand ten earthquake in haiti or bridges an all volunteer operation and trevor. Norman is the national chapter coordinator for airbridge responsible for much of the air operations when he's not volunteering for airbridge. He works fulltime in a similar job for the minnesota national guard. And now. here's our conversation with trevor norman. We'll trevor welcome to the aviation news. Talk podcast thanks for taking a few minutes from the disaster relief efforts to talk with us today. Thank you for having me glad to be here. Who was a little background about era bridge and tell us about its mission. So arab bridge started off backing all five under the Organization care we basically bridge the gap from initial disaster to when the when the ground troops can basically bring supplies and aid to a disaster area. And that's why we're era bridge. We bridge that gap through donation of airplanes corporate and private. And that's that's pretty much our mission. Tell what airbridge is doing right now to provide relief for victims of hurricane ida so right now we are obviously were fundraising. Were also trying to get supplies. Donated to our staging area in pensacola were looking at different staging areas in in houston and beaumont as well but right now pentacle is are is are up and running location. We are also encouraging pilots. Through a couple of means including Self procured items find directly into the disaster area. We do have a an airbridge. Faa approved call. Sign that can be put in the flight plan and your dsp. The donations through some of are are are funded through airbridge. So hurry up and kit on get on board. We've got five hundred dollars for pilots for a limited time to go grab the supplies that they need them fly directly into the disaster area otherwise we do have supplies supplies in pensacola and they're going to be flying directly into homa and lellouche or giuliano And that's where the biggest need is and some other places that were mentioned on flying magazine. I don't know if these are airports. Are cities hammond. Whom i golden meadow gold medal. And homa those are. Those are the two airports that were servicing. Right now hammond. We're looking at that. Initially that was one of our one of our areas that we're looking to stage out of But we really wanted to get closer to the closer disaster area hallmark and And giuliano believe. I'm pronouncing correctly with switcher hearing. Just how desperate is the situation on. The ground in louisiana obviously with the with a lot of power outage carnage roads. There's a lot of misinformation with regards to roads and passability. And i'll be honest with you. You can take a bulldozer or you can take heavy equipment on the roads but that does not mean it's passable but we're also seeing. Is you know a few. Take a semi Lot of ground troops are saying. Bring extra tires because quite honestly the roads are still full of debris. They're not as passable. If you take a semi down those roads it's gonna. It's gonna take a long time for aid to come out there. The situation is pretty desperate. We do have a story. that's on our facebook page. That you know there there's a A fifty five and eight year old. That are basically stranded. There's no aid heat water to to blow the water to get potable water. There's no way to really get any food. Nothing like that. There's no propane to to heat up. Anything is just desperate and they've resorted even eating like raw meat so the situation is pretty desperate and the one thing i want to say in quite honestly it's were on our way. Were were getting out there. Just have patients were getting out there. That's desperate but we're making it work until about the kind of supplies that you're flying in there. What are the greatest needs for supplies right now. Greatest needs right now. I mean obviously it's going to be the basics it's going to be first aid kits water food pet food on we all have. We all have animals for the most part Couple couple different things that. I've heard this time on that. I haven't really heard before Plastic benz so that people can start putting their lives back together and they can start sanitizing some the stuff that they have off from the ruins. Mosquito repellent tarps is a big one nails the bare basics in. We're do the aircraft. Come from that are used to help. Fly supplies in.

"Get to the library. They're about to close. I'm copying the tape uploading into my computer sending it off to my colleagues working on the episode. It makes it into the show the next day. It really helps make it shine. The whole effort is a success. And i'm telling you this. Because i don't think people realize that that level of teamwork and dedication goes into every episode that you hear of the daily. That sort of collaboration takes people. They take resources at take support from subscribers. So that's why i'm asking you to subscribe to the new york times so we can keep bringing you the daily everyday richard. You raised the question of how many residents of new orleans. We'll continue to stay in the city and how long they'll stay for. What did you mean by that. Well i mean. I grew up here and to me. This is always just like the the center of the universe and most new orleans people feel that way but i'm really increasingly concerned. About the stresses on so many of the people who've given the world this incredible culture food music and just the people who are here trying to live and get by and have a normal life. There's i think for a very long time going to be a group of very privileged. People are gonna live very well in new. And i'm staying in uptown new orleans right now and when i went on a walk this morning to go see if the grocery store was open you could hear the sound of privilege and it sounds like kind of the low home of gas power generator. That's keeping the blowing and some of these nicer homes and is allowing people to live through this thing with cold beer and you know to cook gumbo and keep a refrigerator running. And you know that really stands. In contrast with so many of the people. I talked to in so many people we know who have left your first a middle class person not to mention the working class person going out and staying in a hotel for four or five days with your kids it becomes very trying and of course For some people. It's just untenable and it can break them and for the poor. They have no way to get out. They're stuck in a very difficult situation without power. I just really wonder how long people are going to be able to stand this. If this is something that we see with more frequent and more powerful hurricanes are they going to want to stick it out even in a city that just generates a tremendous amount of love among its inhabitants. Yeah it sounds like for a lot of people in new orleans. They don't have the money to leave like they can't get a hotel room. They can't move themselves and their families out of town for a couple of days or maybe a couple of weeks and they also in some sense. Don't have the money to stay like. They can't get a generator. They can't do the things that would help them. Maintain a basic standard of living. Yeah i mean. I remember talking to a native new new orleans. Who's an old friend of mine after katrina. And i said well how how's the city fairing and he said to me. Well you know the people who were doing all right before the storm doing fine and the people who were kind of just on the bubble of doing all right. They're not doing very well right now. And then you know that doesn't even begin to describe what's happening to the people kind of economically below that level. I think warren buffett said you know when the tide goes out. You really know who's got their drawers on or not and you feel that after after a storm like this. And what has this reality of just constantly making these choices about leaving or staying. What does that meant for the city and its population as a whole will. We saw tremendous population decline after katrina. And you see cultures that were transformed in houston texas to cite one important example and atlanta where i live now there are just a lot more new orleans people there and one of the things that you heard i heard one guy say to me he was heading off to sugarland texas which is right by houston you know. He's he's packing up his car with his kids and family and stuff. Did you have people there. And he said yeah. I've got family there. They left and katrina and they never came back and it was the day before the sixteenth anniversary of katrina. You said you know we're going to go have a sweet sixteen reunion. The culture of new orleans is now kind of spread out you know from houston up to atlanta and beyond and it seems like to return to hurricane ida a little bit. There's this kind of metaphor that is sort of cer- forming in my mind about the sort of futility of trying to engineer our way out of a climate crisis because despite this fact of the levees this multibillion dollar infrastructure project actually working all this human ingenuity and political will that new orleans marshall to protect itself from another katrina level storm. It's still not somehow equal to the task of protecting the city from a storm and making the city into a place that people can live in thrive in even if they're not wealthy the amount of ingenuity and necessary hubris and vision that went into building this system around the city to me it just like it smacks of an old testament story. You know like the people built this thing right and then and then the lord was like yeah well good for you but guess what that's like one tenth of your problem solved right there. There is a huge swath of the gulf coast. A lot of it is is full of people who are just as worthy of saving as the people of new orleans. And where's their. Where's their wall. These hurricanes strike all over. The sea levels are rising all up and down the atlantic coast and beyond right i. I'm wondering about you. Mentioned there are places other than new orleans. That don't have this kind of infrastructure. These levees to protect themselves from flooding and from storms. How are they dealing with hurricane ida. Well you know. There are a lot of areas south and west. As i mentioned in a hurting really bad. There's a proposed project. it's kind of in. The works called them organza to the gulf project. It's very similar to the ring around new orleans that would contain some of these places like the city of home of louisiana. Which is you know kind of oil patch city and others but you know hurricanes are complex things in themselves know building a levee or a wall can help you prevent inundation from storm surge if you're lucky and smart but there's also the question of wind and there's also the question of rainfall and i think when you look at louisiana and much of the south including tennessee just the other day. A lot of these flooding events were having in this moment are coming from storms some of them unnamed kind of like day-to-day storms. That will just sit and park themselves over a community and just trash them and those are the kinds of problems that building. A wall really doesn't solve rishard in some sense what you're describing it. Sounds like is a great american city new orleans that has become if not uninhabitable due to climate disasters at least a lot harder and more expensive to keep open and livable and i'm also thinking about friends of mine privileged friends of mine. I guess who are planning to leave california for a few months this fall to get away from the fires and the smoke. And i guess. I'm just meditating. On the fact that in america because of climate change there are some people who are leaving home because they don't have any other choice and there are some people who are leaving home because they do their privileged enough to be able to move somewhere safer but both groups are leaving home. I think it's dawning on everybody. That so many people in our country are having to come up with a plan. B for the very most basic elements of their existence. Which is you know. sort. Of where do i need to be because of tragedy x. The problem that new orleans faces is a problem that so many communities face sometimes in a different guise with a different challenge. But it's become a universal fact of life for people all over the place right. I know that. Richard you're their new orleans reporting on this in your professional capacity but as someone who still has family there and who has spent a lot of time in new orleans. I'm wondering how you and your family are thinking about your own version of these questions. Whether new orleans is still the right place to be what new orleans will even be ten or twenty years from now you know these kinds of processes over such a long time line sometimes in this era of climate crisis. You know the way that i think. A lot of people myself included thought. About how a tragedy that would befall a city would happen are not quite accurate. It's not the godzilla who comes and destroys the city and five minutes breathing fire. It's an maybe it's not even katrina. You know where you know one day. You're dry the next day. You're eighty percent on water and there's more than a thousand people dead. You know the this longer term tragedy. That unfolds is the thing that i really. I'm really concerned about. Which is i think concerns everyone. Which is that over.

"It kind of did its job and what does this levee system actually look like how does it work for those of us who aren't levy experts. Well i'm not a leading expert. Either but i can tell you that it's many things in some cases it strengthened levy's levy walls. And you know they're things that you don't really always see if you're living in this very urban environment in this old city of new orleans but it's out there and some of this stuff is like hoover dam level huge. A few years ago. I went fishing out by one of these massive new gates. I mean imagine a kind of placid wetland and then like this kind of star wars death star level. Concrete edifice just stuck out there. It's really impressive. But it's one of the dynamics has been interesting. Here is that people. Don't trust the government after katrina. They've been told this thing exists. But like i said it's really hard to see it and you can't really see it just all at once. It's hard to really grasp how big and how vast it is and there was definitely an interesting tension here between people this week. Who were saying. I don't trust this system. I don't care what they say or how many billions they spent versus a lot of people who really know the system. We were saying. No no. it's like it's real like we really spent billions and we have some really smart engineers like it's hard to trust the government after what happened with katrina and the loss of confidence in government entities after katrina was really really intense and it certainly lingers to this day. Yeah and of course now. With a couple of days of reporting in hindsight we know that hurricane ida did come and the levees held and i wonder if there's a part of you that thinks that this is a story of of things working do you feel any sense of that on the ground with the people you're talking to because when you talk to people it sounds like they're dealing with very real issues in their own lives. There may be not thinking about well. I'm glad we funded that levee system will you know there's very little sense of celebration here and part of that has to do with the fact that as of right now there's a humanitarian crisis looming in new orleans. Even though it's dry there's no electricity and with no electricity. There's no air conditioning. And we're in late august early september in south louisiana. It's sweltering to the point of dangerous. The heat index is one hundred plus every day. And we'll be for many days we don't know when the energy's gonna come back. People don't have jobs to go to the schools are closed in jefferson parish. Which is the suburban parish. Right next door to orleans parish. Nobody has any water right now. The lines for gasoline are four plus hours for those that are open. People are cooking their last food from the refrigerators that they've cleaned out the people who are living in these sweltering apartments who are infirm. Who have issues with health are potentially headed to a healthcare system that was already way overtaxed due to cove in one thousand nine hundred and the new delta variant related spike. From the vantage of us. Right now who are in the city. It doesn't feel like things are fixed. It feels like we're confronting major major challenges right like it's hard to focus on the silver lining when the cloud is so big exactly and the silver lining only helps so much. I've been thinking a lot in the last day or so about the toll that even this storm which didn't swamp the city has taken for one. You have all these outlying areas that have been very badly hit. They were hit by heavy rain. They were hit by wind. The city of homa louisiana has been very badly beaten up and we know from researchers that we're going to see stronger storms. Most likely we're gonna see more frequent storms. And i really fear now that the city is just going to continue to suffer despite the incredible resilience of the people who live here. I mean how can the city not continue to be diminished. Who.

Trump wanted the withdrawal. But not the way he did. You're going to hear from that with with president trump's Words on how fungal dat but in so doing he created the situation where thirteen of our servicemembers eleven of them marines were killed when the bombs went off because the area was not secured.

His son was killed. commentator said. well they'll be some knock on the doors tonight so at that time. I didn't know if there's gonna be a knock on the door call so about after his speech That he did. I then got my phone and put my phone down by the television now. I had the cable on the head. The four different networks on my cable. So i had fox news bbc. Cnn and something else which you know just the reason i had as because able to see you know the optics of the four channels and you know. Pick where i wanted to get my information from. Well i are also starting to think well you know they're gonna have possibly come here so what i had done. Was i got my phone. That has the camera the front porch. And i put that down. So if anyone was to walk up i'd be able to rush outside in intercepting because i didn't. I didn't want if something happened to my son that these marines nothing against them were to tell my family. I felt like you know that was my responsibility. So i finally realized you know they're not gonna come at three o'clock they're going to come between five and ten when everybody's home from work so then i realized you know okay. Well you know five. F- i can make it between five to ten. Even i haven't heard from him. I know that you know he's all right and he just doesn't have a way to contact me because they've either shut down the internet or shutdown cell service or whatever and seven fifteen. I see something in the corner of my phone and three people are walking up my driveway and my other son. His brother Had gone to a football game two of his friends. So i was hoping that you know it was him and as soon as i saw them turn. The corner sought was three marine suits. My my life changed for ever. And i went down there and met them and i think i did before they even knocked on the door. And all i kept saying and this goes to the point that you're asking any service you know come and address to us. Yes and they were incredible. These young men were so had so much empathy. And we're so concerned with me and my family who luckily my family wasn't there. It was just me at the time. And i think god you know. I think jesus that that happened. That was able to intercept them. And all i kept telling them they were literally there for like five minutes. All you know. Let sign whatever papers. We have to sign now. But you have to leave. Because i have to take care of my family and i don't want someone to come here while you're here. And they were totally understanding and then it dawned on me that yes. Maybe i don't need the condolences from them. But i don't wanna i don't wanna take opportunity from my other family members. My wife my my son. So i asked him look there at a football game for the high school watching a football game. Can you please wait down the street until they come and then i could see if they want you to come and do your your condolences presentation. Those marine. those boys sat out there for four hours for four hours. They sat out there until they came until my wife came which she no. It was not good in and i could not. I could not have them come to the house it was. It was horrible. Like i said. I've been up for about thirty six hours. But i was. I was in awe in in and just humbled by the by the performance. I appreciate steve. You're telling us that. And god bless you thank you. Thank you hats off to tucker for keeping it together. I could not have. Wow meanwhile the commander in chief. He's not only the president of the united states. He's the commander in chief of our military. The man who made the decisions that led to the death of kareem nuku he He was asked at a press conference where he went to zoom at the fema headquarters and so he's there to say you know. Don't worry about louisiana mississippi. We've got this way you know. We're we're really good at evacuating people and and really good at crisis situations right. I guess that's their message that we're gonna we're gonna go with and he said So he makes the statement and then he's asked a question from bloomberg reporter jennifer jacobs and he says mr pro she says mr president or first of all he says. I'm not supposed to take any questions. Who tells him not to take any questions because whoever tells him not to take any questions is who is running the country. And it's not joe biden and then after he says. I'm not supposed to take any questions but go ahead. I'll take one and she says afghanistan he says i'm not talking about afghanistan. You just heard the father of a man who son came home in a flag-draped coffin. We don't know what happened and biden says. I'm not talking about in michigan. And i i really think an all. I'm not. i'm not supposed take any questions. But go ahead on afghanistan guest house. He keeps talking about what they tell him to do that. I've been instructed to call on this person. I've been told who who is telling you that you know these. There was a woman involved in the thirteen. Eleven marines one one of the individuals who died was was a woman so these men and women deserve better. I just like to close out this segment before we get to trump's position on afghanistan with part of a song by rodney foster. It's called angel flight.

Show morning here from the new york. Post these sixty seven year old veteran. Tv meteorologist made a brief appearance in new orleans in a full body. Wetsuit on nbc's meet the press on sunday and was immediately smacked by waves from lake pontchartrain. As hurricane ida bore down on the region. I guess we lost communication roker sputtered. At one point to host chuck todd while way crushing waves alternately engulfed him and receded back into the water clip quickly went viral with concern critics. Asking why someone of brokers age would risk and lamb share information. He could give from the national weather service without leaving the house. One tweet wrote. it's twenty twenty one. i don't need to see l. Roker risking his life and his crews live to show me a hurricane. It can be reported on without standing outside in the middle of it. What do we make of in the waves. I know al roker is at well respected highly compensated integral part of the nbc news team. I would not have guessed that he had the i don't know the sway to say i'm going there whether you want me to or not you know. Give me a camera crew in a wetsuit. let's go that seems more like i don't know That's that's anderson cooper territory and i doesn't really strike me out. Wrokers that guy.

I've got an only in journalism word for you are right. I think this feature is on. Its last legs we got. We had at least one comment to that effect this week so we did but you know you know the thing about it is. It's because of the success of the feature. Yeah people have seen in so many words that we are run running out of only journalism words as true. But i got a great one this week from khun jolly papaya that. I just have to tell you about. Are you ready please. Yeah only journalism word you see it printed but you never really use it real-life tenterhooks. Yes tanta tenterhooks. I don't think i've ever heard anybody say that were you. Did you know. And i found this out for merriam webster the tenterhooks which you hang laundry on know what like where. Where are you hanging this laundry. Well i got quite sure about that. It's like it's like a hook that fastens onto close. According to end it stretches it out and according to merriam webster see it stretched meaning. It's stressed or uneasy. So like the you know. The the cloth pulled tight and that is when you are on tenterhooks. You are yourself anxious uneasy. That's the idea here. Okay that makes sense used to kill a mockingbird did not know that well let's not journalism but it's the written. That's where a lot of these games a lot of this tension here israel. I mean it's the things that only exists in the written word and by the way Do you think that some of these only journalism were only in the written word. Words are were gonna fade out because of audio books. Audiobooks aren't a new thing. But i definitely heard some words. That's the disqualifier as soon as it spoken audible dot com some of these words. Some of these words you're put off by the lack of us. I don't know how that sounds in a sentence. Like whatever at now you know like some of our favorite writers use some of these words all the time in the written word and now that you hear some great gravity voice narrator saying now maybe you're more satanic hooks yeah tenterhooks I'll tell you what's remarkable about this. Is that this was the front page. Above the fold headline of the seattle times on thursday august twenty six long term care facilities on tenterhooks over vaccine rule.

"We can look ahead to but even then it's it's well i mean it's harder to zoom out than it is to even get boots on the ground or whatever And i think that that's the unique thing i'm talking about here. Which is that. you'll see more of the storm in certain terms of just like seeing video than we've ever seen before but that the at the other part of the reporting the story is just probably difficult or nearly as difficult as it ever was before when just in terms of the media outlets themselves. I mean these are people on every network every news network trying their hardest to to to help process the story But you but you do see this is a very odd media sort of moment where they can throw two clips from twitter but yet they don't they don't have their processing power that they would have by having a reporter on usually the report on the ground is the one that explains the images that you're seeing because they are there to process it right there. They are there to explain it. They're there to to to to to make sense of it and now by and large we just have the images. Yeah i saw the writer jonah. The cats tweet this the disasters i get the most nervous about are the ones where very little information is coming out of the zone in the hours during and right after i felt that anxiety last night because i was watching the videos and i'm like but i'm not able to get hard information right. I'm not able to not able to have someone because they don't know the answer. Then that's the reason right. I'm not able to have someone staying on television or be like here's what louisiana's facing right now in its totality Even reading the new york times this morning about the closest they came to a definitive conclusion. Anything they said. And i'm quoting here. The fourteen point five billion dollar flood protection system around the new orleans after hurricane katrina seems to have succeeded keeping the city from going underwater again. Yeah that's great news. If true seems is but they're hedging right because they don't actually know the answer to that question yet. I believe that was confirmed. The press conference. That i was just watching but again we don't. We won't know for some time right and it's almost. I think you know the levees breaking became sort of symbolic of everything that went wrong during during katrina and this storm if it needed to be made clear makes it perfectly clear that you know strengthening that system making that system we're perfectly is not a magical shield against you know the forces of nature When they strike like this But yeah i mean if that worked and that's that's fantastic. I mean it is it. Isn't i mean just from a personal point of view. My brother-in-law lives in numeral lives in new orleans and It's funny because we have access to the news. We have access to social media. And yet i don't feel like there's any real one correlation between what i'm seeing and what and what he and his fiancee or experiencing right. I mean they're in birmingham but like and they got their. It was the closest hotel that could find when they decided to leave. Which is i'm sure. The experience a mini fortunate. People are having people were able to leave and left in time and so you know having to travel that far away to find a place to stay but it doesn't you know i i. I think i think most deeply. I feel like i will no i. I will only have some idea of the damage that neurons the suffered when he gets back and tells me. It doesn't make any sense like it's like we're like we're we're in. We're in an age where we can access human responses and and people interacting with this stuff real in real time on social media and yet there's something still very foreign about it very alien about it that it takes. I mean you know. Maybe that's the way that maybe it's a good thing to have that sort of pause but you know it. It is a deeply human experience and and it's something that we only can accept sometimes through humans that we know. Yeah and very localized ride. The moon anything about from from previous coverage. It's been that just because somebody's home was okay. Doesn't mean somebody else's home is okay exactly. Sometimes that's just really in from birmingham or wherever you are. Sometimes it's hard to tell exactly what has happened. you know. even the videos you watch. Different buildings are affected. Roof is blowing off one building and it's not blowing off the other building So you don't quite have a sense of those kind of answers. I think Really in the same time couple of media stories. I wanted to point you to that. Came across my radar screen. One this is from. Msnbc related via the daily beast justin barrett ghana embassy in msnbc reporter. Shaquille brewster in. Gulfport mrs sippy. Oh yeah. I just want you to listen to the beginning of this reported. We'll we'll sort of go from there. Where in gulfport mississippi greg and i'll tell you the biggest sign the biggest indicator that saw this morning about the force of the storm last night is so pretty standard opening there. But what you can see in. The background is a white pickup truck pulling up on the beach behind brewster a man getting out of the pickup truck and running toward him brewster's still reporting here on the beach. Telling us what's going on doesn't see this coming then.

"Shows up at your doorstep. You'll be ready. Visit ready dot gov slash plan and make a plan today brought to you by fema and the ad council. This was supposed to be the time of year when we're all getting ready to return to work in an actual office with our colleagues many of whom we've only seen on video calls yet as we've been reporting from apple to wells fargo companies. Big and small are delaying their return to the office. And with the shifting timeline some companies are considering a new possibility when all is said and done offices may be closed for nearly two years. This is raising concerns among executives. That the longer people stay at home the harder or more disruptive a could be to eventually bring back. The wsj's chip cutter has been writing about workplace issues throughout the entire pandemic. And we're glad to have him here. Hi chit highmark morning chip. May i ask where you are working from in this day of remote working. I am still remote myself. I'm working from columbus. Ohio to be closer to my family goddess regardless of where you are chip. You have been in touch with the c. suite. I'm wondering is the fear of people never wanting to come back is just conversation or is this going to be a real issue. The longer we stay remote. This is a real concern. Among a number of executives across industries habits are powerful people have developed new routines in the pandemic and the longer that this has stretched on the more that people have sort of gotten used to working at home and sort of structuring. Their day around remote work the more that many say that there's sort of locked in to give this up and that's causing concern among executives feeling that it's going to be difficult and incredibly disruptive to bring people back into on any sort of pre pandemic schedules even people who maybe once were reluctant to embrace remote work. Who didn't want to get new office chairs at home they didn't they were largely working from the kitchen table. I've spoken with some of those workers. Who said they finally upgraded their setups. In recent months they feel like they're more comfortable now. They like remote work in some ways. And so i think all of this is causing. Some new worries across companies chip. Is there any data on this. So surveys have shown that actually people's preferences and people's feelings towards him at work have actually increased the longer the pandemic has gone on groups like pbc and others have surveyed workers and employers and many people have said that they would like to stay remote that they feel. This is working well for them and yet many employers had some concerns about long-term remote work. We've seen studies showing that productivity has largely held up but are there worries about other things like holding onto talent. This is a big worry. One executive at financial services giant prudential told me that talent is his number one concern at this point and that he feels that people can approach their jobs more from just looking at the numbers and how much they're paid. They're thinking now that they're remote than are disconnected from their colleagues. He says many are maybe more willing to take a call from a recruiter or to entertain an offer somewhere else. And i think we've seen this. Obviously across a number of different professions over the past couple of months as people have quit their jobs for something else but many people many executives really fear that not being able to kind of convene people to bring people together in person to let people see sort of the fun size of their jobs to be able to talk with colleagues and developed those relationships they think it sort of becomes a situation where it's sort of all drudgery. No fun that work. Maybe it's it's easier to sort of just say i'm going to take a job somewhere else. That might pay me a little bit more. I don't feel as tied to my current employer. How does this possibility of an even further delay play into the argument for a hybrid work minal. Some businesses supported others. Shun it that they do. It's still sort of has sort of a range of feelings. When you bring up hype hubbard work. But i think this really makes hybrid work sort of all the more appealing. Many workers many executives have said that they realize that working from home even a couple of days a week can be incredibly important can be really helpful. Sort of that heads down. Time has become a way for people to be more productive at home to get more work done. And i think many are sort of reluctant to give that up and so as we sort of talk about what returned to office might look like many companies are now realizing hybrid has to be part of that discussion so much shuffling so much adjusting as we watch to see what the kobe thousand nine virus doesn't acts with the delta variant does next chip what's next for companies companies are having a really tough time this fall. They expected things to be different and they set different plans. So many have stopped even giving return to office day to this point. They say that they're sick. Of just kind of continually moving them back. Companies like dell and others have just told workers that will let you know. We'll give you a lot of notice before you come back to the office. But we can't give a firm date at this point other companies had sort of planned over the coming months to finally bring people together. There were a lot of sales kickoffs and annual conventions and other events planned for this fall. And it's interesting. Some companies initially said. Can we make those events smaller and still hold them other said. Can we just invite the employees not spouses for example and now many companies are now delaying those events. Or cancelling them altogether and realizing that. It's just not safe at the moment. And so i think this becomes a really difficult time for people trying to figure out. How do we sort of run organizations. Keep people motivated. Keep them engaged with these. Continued delays chip cutter among. The many working. Remotely still chip. Thank you thanks so much. Mark and finally the internet uproar over how often.
