'The grid is broke':Gen. Honor warns it will take months for electricity & water restoration in LA

September 14, 2020

By Bob Brigham



Retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel L. Honoré was interviewed by MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin on Monday about the state of hurricane recovery in Louisiana as Hurricane Sally bears down on the state.

Honoré was widely praised for his role in responding to Hurricane Katrina, which occurred after the George W. Bush administration had been criticized for mistakes in their initial response to the disaster.

“We are following breaking news at this hour,” Mohyeldin said. “Right now Hurricane Sally is Category 1 storm and taking aim at the gulf coast. Hurricane warnings have been issued in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, some areas are expected to get an average of 8 to 16 inches of rain

“Sally will arrive just two weeks after Hurricane Laura blew through Louisiana,” he noted.
