Btw I saw 3 people steamroll through dead powerlines last night. Be really careful. Also be mindful of your highbeams.

Yeah, the old Byrd building. We're all on the same main grid or so it would appear.

Any new updates? Any people from TD get their power back? If not, I hope it's soon!

Myself and my MIL live near two different hospitals. Neither of us have power either.

I'm still dark in Bridgedale subdivision in metry.Saw trucks working today on Harvard/high intersection. Replaced a pole with a double buck arm, but still not energized.



And I'm back on the grid. Rest of Bridgedale got restored a few hours ago. Looks like some decent progress being made today.

I have an Ooma VOIP telephone at my house, so I just dialed my house every hour or so. If it started ringing, I'd know I got power. Without power (and subsequent internet access), there was a voicemail message right away.

This is assuming my Cox service worked, but it was confirmed working two blocks away.

Any updates on power restoration in Old Metairie? Specifically near Bonnabel and Codifer...

Think it might be back on. Know Beverly Garden and other side streets off Codifer just got it back.

A lot of Lakeview is still out. Somehow I'm in a patch that only lost it for a few hours on Wednesday. But the block across the street from me is still out. Completely random it seems.

I understand how you feel, but it's a lot easier for me to be okay with them since my power is on.
