Flooding in Louisiana vs. New Jersey with Alexa Trischler | Tidal Flooding Talk for July 8, 2025
Description
Egg Harbor Township native and now New Orleans meteorologist Alexa Trischler (https://www.wwltv.com/article/about-us/team-bios/wwltv-new-orleans-alexa-trischler-meteorologist-hurricanes-weather/289-a9fa01fb-6a48-41b4-8243-3971c319cf0c) joins the show to explore coastal flooding between Louisiana and New Jersey.
Inspired by Hurricane Sandy and mentored by our very own Dan Skeldon, Trischler highlights New Orleans’ flood-prone culture, where levees and pumps can fail against heavy rains. She contrasts Louisiana’s levee-focused resilience with New Jersey’s post-Sandy building codes. Trischler also shares her WWL Louisiana media work and local food insights.
