Honesty though, it is rough when you are paying $40 a day to keep a generator running. Camping in your own house and seeing tricks sitting in a staging area a half mile away but never seeing anyone in your neighborhood. Then seeing the map and just seeing this huge tract of red. It sucks, i get it takes a while to restore, but when you are on the sixth day without power and no idea when it will return you do get upset.

As I alluded to in the other thread....that can't be the whole story.

Nowhere near this level of backlash in Gustav.

Some rumblings of Entergy vs Demco, but that is all.

And it took almost a week before restoration even began to be noticeable.

There were people this time honestly expecting all upstream repairs to be completed and work started at the street level within 24 hours of the storm's completion.

Has the urban parts of Jefferson Parish\Orleans parish just been shielded from hurricanes that they have no experience? Other than Katrina where they mostly evacuated anyway I mean.

According to Sheila Pounders an Entergy Customer Service rep Entergy did no repairs for the first 2 days. They were driving around doing paperwork as part of their assessments.
