Hey bro. I am from Louisiana. When the hurricane that hit Rockport Texas in 2017 I was living there. The local Texas utility companies rolled. The have equipment and don't frick around. They get it done.


There is not of a street or road in Calcasieu Parish, and for miles beyond that does not have most of the power distribution grid destroyed. Just getting the number of replacement utility poles that will be required will take some time. They typically have a few dozen in local yards, tens of thousands are now needed.

Slidell looked like that after Katrina, and it took a month to get power to my house, and I thought it would be longer. Pretty impressive, but there will be many waiting that long in SWLA. Worst part of life on the Gulf Coast.
