My power just came on about 45 minutes ago. My problem is not with the crews out there working right now, the issue I have is that my power was out 2 days longer than than 2 streets over because of a pole holding a transformer was rot for months before this storm and Entergy was notified multiple times about it and did nothing. First gust of wind Tuesday night guess what happened to that pole.

Now Entergy will get to charge a "hurricane fee" so we can all pay extra for there lack of grid maintenance.

Bingo.

This is how I understood it to work. I knew someone who was hired to go around and servey they poles recently. It was a cluster fck with how bad things were. He was told that Entergy decided a long time ago to decrease their maintenance staff and just rely on insurance and rate adjustments to help them make up for any losses.
