Hope For The People In New Orleans

By Hedrick Lepsch


Electronics and water have never quite seen eye to eye. After years of innovation, we've finally figured out how to make some of them water proof.

Florida residents breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news. The people along the Gulf of Mexico caught their breath when they heard it was heading towards them.

The storm reached hurricane intensity on Tuesday, August 28, 2012, while bearing down on Louisiana. Although only a category one storm, it is not done growing yet.

The closer it gets to the shores, the more intense it is becoming. The storm is expected to reach full strength-about a category 2-as it smacks the southern coast of Louisiana.

Get it out of the water as soon as possible. The best way to salvage the phone is the same as saving a person, get it out of the dangerous circumstances, and its likelihood of survival will be greater.

While you are examining your plumbing system, you want to be sure that you can look through your kitchen, bath and sink pipes. As you are looking through the pipes, you should be able to find the problem pipes.

You can check for water damage by removing the battery and checking the white paper circle. If the liquid penetrated to the center of the phone, then the paper will have turned blue as it is reactant to water. Remove any other parts that can come off. Your goal with this is to expose as many parts of the phone as possible so it can air dry evenly and quickly.

As soon as the storm hit, it became immediately apparent that the pumps couldn't handle the strength of the hurricane. They were quickly damaged, becoming nearly useless to the safety of the city.

Once they were out of commission, there was nothing to keep the water from consuming the city in front of it. Since that time, professionals have repaired and strengthened the series of levees and pumps to handle the intense pressures of a city under siege.

Since the upgrades, officials are more confident than ever that they will be able to avert much of the damage. Hurricane Isaac is also not expected to reach the same intensity as Katrina. Only expected to reach a category 2-meaning that winds will reach 96-110 miles per hour. This means that this storm will fall just underneath the "major hurricane" classification.

When that has finished, allow your cell to sit on something absorbent for 24 hours. This will help make sure the cell has dripped out every drop it can before trying to turn it on again.

Take time to find your plumbing damage as soon as possible and have it fixed quickly as well.

If the cell is still acting funny, turn it off and drying it again using rice and towels. If by that time it's still giving you problems, consider contacting your provider about getting it replaced.
