Summary
Seven inches of rain in just two hours crippled Kenner and Jefferson Parish’s drainage systems, flooding homes and trapping cars despite all pumps running. Both areas are racing to upgrade infrastructure—with Kenner’s $25M river-divert project and Jefferson Parish’s multi-million dollar pump expansions—hoping to work together to prevent future disasters. Residents are split between hope and skepticism as local leaders scramble for state and federal funding to cover the massive costs, knowing that without these upgrades, everyday life and emergency response could be severely disrupted.
