Chapter 324: New Orleans
"Oh my god, it was raining so much it looked like someone was flying a plane down on it. I felt like I was being washed away very quickly lol, traveling the world by the way."
A netizen in New Orleans updated this on 2, it was still quite early, the aftermath of the hurricane swept the big city, ushered in widespread rainfall, and the hurricane center and the US government hadn't even issued a eviction warning.
But this update still got a lot of attention on 2.
The only reason is that Daniel Sandler retweeted her update with the hashtag #Katrina.
"Maybe you should get out of there. The Hurricane Center has reminded residents along the way of the hurricane to be careful. If you have friends, relatives or classmates out of state, you might as well go to them for a few days. The terrain of New Orleans is very low. Seriously, I sincerely advise you to get out of there temporarily. #Katrina风风#”
2 quickly put Daniel's reply on the page in case they get here, they are finished. But in reality, nothing is possible. "
"All right."
Nancy and Ted decided to trust the rather confident perception of adults.
But soon, Katrina entered the Gulf of Mexico, and news of oil fields, refineries, and oil prices quickly filled every TV news station. She became a terrifying Category 5 hurricane.
"Lake Pontchartrain has burst its banks!"
This was the latest news they saw, and soon, the lake was pouring into the bowl-shaped city of New Orleans.
The whole city was flooded in a short period of time, especially the ninth district where Nancy's family was located, which almost became a lake.
"Oh my God, there is water everywhere, the communication signal is always intermittent, and no one has rescued us until now. I don't know when the electricity and Internet will be cut off. It's terrible. I can always hear gunshots .”
Nancy updated her last status.
She didn't even see Daniel replying to her for the third time.
Because, soon there was a power outage, and her desktop computer shut down automatically.
...
"Go now," Mark Vaughn personally instructed his staff.
They will be making #KatrinaSave professionally on horseback.
If the victims can connect to the Internet, they can publish their information here to get help, and mutual rescue among the people can also be used as a platform.
A lot of professional information is published here.
Warnings to avoid looting, riots, and panic were also issued.
2 has teamed up with Google's just-launched Maps to flag crowds of people and help rescuers who can connect to the Internet with handheld devices. (To be continued..)
