Perhaps I should re-re-evaluate. Entergy is the greatest company in the world, and its customers in Jefferson and Orleans are spoiled, ignorant, ungrateful louts who should be ashamed of themselves.

Now we are talking
Seriously though....all I am saying is that level of feedback is unreasonable to expect without it also impeding restoration efforts.
I want them focused 100% on restoring power as fast as possible.
It's silly to devote a significant portion of attention and resources at just giving the public highly detailed reports.
They do give summaries and release them....that combined with the outage map is enough.
Expecting street by street reports on assessment, repairs, and estimated time for outage is just unreasonable. Especially as in storms like this, the inital assessment is never complete. Problems emerge as they power the grid up.

spoiled and ignorant, in general. I would agree.
I just don't remember this same backlash during Katrina. When in reality Isaac may have been worse for Entergy, simply because of how long it stayed over our region. Something like 2x's as long as Katrina did. It ended up being the 3rd or 4th largest outage in Entergy's history.
Now did they expect some damage? Sure.
did they expect the damage that ended up happening? maybe not, but i dont think most did. It's hard to blame them.
I still think they are doing a good job. I would have killed to have my power on 3 or 4 days after Katrina. shite, my mother got her power back in 8 hours...in the same house we lost power for 2.5 weeks for Katrina.
