More than 1,180 public water systems reported disruptions, and 19 people died of carbon monoxide. After Hurricane Ida, an average of 52.1% of cell sites in affected Louisiana parishes went dark. Your flashlight covers the first night. Day three brings a whole different set of problems. Subscribe to the channel: @rangerrickus In this video, we talk about what fails once a blackout runs past the first night, including a house that turns dangerously cold or hot, city water that stops or turns unsafe, a toilet and sewer line that quit, the freezer clock running out, dead phones and dead cell towers, insulin and oxygen machines with no power, gas pumps and ATMs that won't work, the stomach bug that spreads on day four, and carbon monoxide from generators, grills, ovens and cars.
