50 mph and < they will usually stay off roads, but <50 mph they will allow workers to begin putting power back on. In other words, their arse ought to be working around the city.



they could have been out after around 5 yesterday .. DEMCO was doing it and restoring power ... seems like no power is a double whammy for entergy .. paying line workers to restore, while not making any money on dead meters .. sounds like they'd be humping it to me ..

A friend of mine saw some Entergy trucks off of Lee Dr., but I have yet to see any myself.

ETA: I live off Bluebonnet.

Entergy is doing something because I regained power about an hour ago after it being out for 10hours. I'm near Perkins Rowe.

Just drove from the garden district to a little past Seigen. Zero Entergy trucks. My neighborhood doesn't have any trees on the power lines, but they still aren't here. I saw a bunch of DPW trucks, Cox cable trucks, and a bunch of tree crews. Zero Entergy trucks. They just flat out aren't working from the Garden District to Seigen
