24,000 customers lost power at some point in Entergy rolling blackouts Tuesday

Entergy is warning customers about the possibility of another round of rolling outages Wednesday night. The utility is asking people to voluntarily cut down on electrical usage until further notice, especially between the hours of 5 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Tuesday night, Entergy pulled the plug on tens of thousands of customers in Louisiana, including 24,000 in the city of New Orleans.
Linda Doiron lost power at her home on Marshal Foch Street in the Lakeview neighborhood from about 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

“If we would have had just some warning some way, we would have been much better off,” Doiron said. “It was just a real lack of communications, all the way through that process.”

New Orleans City Council President Helena Moreno says ENO left customers hanging during the outages.

“Notification should have gone out to Entergy customers,” Moreno said. “Notifications should have gone out to the media. Unfortunately, that did not happen.”

Y’all lucky LA come to Tx and see how bad it is. I wish I evacuated back home for Mardi Gras to escape.
