re: -

You can absolutely blame a company for poor service (or in this case poor/excellent reaction to a service being down). That being said, I am not saying entergy isn't prepared or doing a bad job. I have no idea, so I chose not to comment about their preparedness.

For me personally, I've accpeted the fact that when a storm comes, I will most likely be without power. However, like I mentioned before in this thread, being mentally prepared for no power without a generator, doesn't mean I have to act happy that I'm losing 5 pounds of body weight in water every hour (hint of sarcasm).
