This just happened in Oak Hills. Tree hit a house.
I’m an Oak Hills resident. This one didn’t hit the house, just a fence. But there were some others in this area that weren’t as lucky. It got wild in here for about 10 minutes where it looked like a tropical storm out the window.
Still no power and it’s predicted 10pm tomorrow. Glad I invested in that standby unit after Ida because it’ll be a while - the culprit is a pine limb that fell by the Arboretum. Broke the lines off a pole but didn’t break them luckily. So they’ll have to evaluate the lines and see if they have to set a new pole.

That damn feeder line is such a weak link. Damnit Entergy just bury the lines!

I saw 2 WBRZ trucks on north oak hills about 20 mins ago.

Even at night that shouldn’t take more than 4 to 6 hours to fix with several trucks, it damn sure shouldn’t take 24 hours. Most of the time connecting a power line back together that was snapped because something fell on it doesn’t take that long, especially compared to putting in a new pole which still shouldn’t take 8 hours much less 24 hours.
