Thunderstorm last night, this morning lights flickering

Last night thunderstorm rolled through, pretty big lightning strikes nearby. Woke me up during the storm. Now this morning I have lights that are flickering in 5 rooms in the house. Most are LED can lights, one is a ceiling fan light.
Electricians, Do I have an Entergy service issue or something wrong on the house side?

I have experienced some thing similar in the past. Turned out to be a failing service connection on one leg to the house. Took awhile to fail completely, but it did.
Report it to the utility and get on the list.

This is also typically a free service before you call an electrician.

Thanks, that’s what I was thinking. Hopefully Entergy doesn’t have a list to deal with after the storm.

Good luck OP I had a similar situation (that turned out to be a loose wire in the switch box) and Entergy wanted to turn my power off until they could get to me (days). We called someone we knew that worked for them and he checked it out on the side for us until we figured out what it was. Entergy was persistent that it was an emergency and I couldn’t get on the list unless they cut power.

Our house got struck by lightning last year and I had multiple lights flickering afterwards. Replacing the bulbs took care of it.
