How well does this work during power and cell phone outages?


You have to have some type of internet connectivity….if you do it works good….if you don’t it’s worthless

I live a few blocks from her but evacuated. Plan to return as soon as possible and I’ll drive by and check if you still need me to. Hopefully Tuesday AM at latest

I don’t need help, but I’m in St. Bernard parish with a truck full of gas. Can help if needed.

Not sure how helpful this will be to the conversation, but, a day or two after Laura, I still had reception in LCH. Had to deal with quite a few dropped calls, make a few attempts before call went through, etc., but it wasn’t like with Rita where there was literally no communication other than landlines.

I will be back in Abita tomorrow. I have a couple chainsaws and can help anyone in the area after I get whatever I’m coming back to squared away.

This thread is an example of the majority of people who post here are good hearted people who will do what they can to help their neighbors in need.

Update: finally got in touch with her. My mom got covid a few days ago. Couldn’t leave due to how bad she felt. I’m in Bham and couldn’t get down there with my job. I’ve called for 2 days and can’t get her. No family in area. Her only friend is in hospital with covid. If anyone is near 740 Orion ave in Metairie and can check to see if she’s ok I would be forever grateful. Email uabebm@gmail.com 2056015918 can message me. She has lung issues and uses an nebulizer. Hopefully won’t lose power


I’d be more than happy to bring her food, water and ice when things die down, lemme know

Someone said it earlier, but it amazes me how much of a family this place is when the time is right.


All we do is make fun of each other, until it’s time to ride, and everyone is one.

Geaux Tigers, be safe.

I’m in the LP and will be working to get power restored tomorrow for everyone in the area who has Entergy.

Stay safe tomorrow when you decide to go out and assume every downed power line is energized.

If you have questions about your power outage situation, I’ll be online all day tomorrow and through the week working with crews to get people back online as fast as possible.

This post is great to see!

We're sending 16 folks from Ohio (AEP contractors) to do damage assessment. Most likely headed out tomorrow. Doesn't stop the hurricane but hopefully it helps!

Godspeed everyone.

If there is a family in need of getting out of town for the week, please read:

I booked a 1 BR condo for our family vacation in Santa Rosa Beach with check-in Monday evening. It’s looking like it will be impossible for me to get there in time now since we’re traveling from Houston.

Check in is Monday (8/30) evening and the reservation lasts until Friday 9/3 morning.

If someone needs it we can transfer the reservation over the phone. Simply asking for reimbursement of the reservation. $815 for 4 nights (1BR w/king and pullout couch, 1st floor beachfront). Not a bad place to regroup and reset before tackling the cleanup.

Email me at whatrhymeswithrobert@outlook.com
