Edwards refused outside help. Wants to make Trump's response look bad.

Was in Lake Charles yesterday, there were hundreds of powerline crews working. They are restoring substations first, no point in restoring lines in your neighborhood if there is no power to feed them. Next priority was removing poles and lines that are blocking roads. DOTD and the Parish will not move power lines to clear roads.

What are the national guard supposed to do?

More than 240,000 customers were without power in Texas, according to PowerOutage.us, which tracks blackouts around the country.
Those in the southeastern part of the state in Jefferson, Orange and Hardin counties the most affected. More than 580,000 customers were suffering from outages in Louisiana, as the eye passed over Lake Charles, ripping off roofs, downing trees and bringing high floodwaters.
I think La was a little mot affected than Texas...

Power crews are still in the assessment phase in SWLA as we took a far worse hit. They’re everywhere.
Military personnel are working our ERs. National Guard is distributing supplies. My step dad in Sulphur just received some.
There’s still a massive amount of tree and debris clearing that has to take place before they can start throwing up power lines.

Natonal Guard is in my town passing out supplies and clearing roads with heavy equipment.

Most of our family lives in Groves, TX. 5 different households without power and they are all hearing Tuesday afternoon 6pm direct from the power company.
Other people are on message boards and hearing much longer. Not sure what is going on but it is going to take some time.

Dude there was nearly 400 bucket trucks parked at Burton Coliseum, the day after the storm.
Also, it’s going to take those guys roughly a month to restore power to all parts of the city. The amount of poles needed to replace what was destroyed is in the thousands. It’s going to take time, but the crews are there.

There is talk of a complete rebuild on some of the power infrastructure due to the amount of damage. I know AT&T has to rebuild a lot as well. They were hit hard and it looks like a war zone. I spent most of the weekend clearing trees there.

I went to Lake Charles Friday to help out for a coupe days. As we were driving down from Dallas and were close to the border we were talking about how little debris and what not was on the road I told the guy riding with me wait until we get into LA and sure enough as soon as we crossed the Sabine the debris situation got much, much worse. I know the storm wasn’t that much different in 100 years.

This is bullshite.
I’ve seen at least 500-1000 trucks driving into the parish.
This is how rumors start and people start complaining and explode on Facebook. Power people are crawling everywhere.
