Hey G ... yes we do. We are Entergy ...the city did go out for a bit from what I can tell on Facebook.

Scruffy talked to a friend who say a tree/branch fell on a transformer in Delcambre/Erath area. If your people are on Entergy they're without elec. The outage map looks TERRIBLE for right there.

Hate to say ours blinked twice but we're good. Generator ready in case but so far so good.

Lol. We had two dogs that panicked in every thunderstorm. Our newest rescue could care less and can go 15 hours before needing to go outside

Random question. If you had a dental appointment tomorrow in Lafayette would you think the office would be opened or closed? Would you show up?

That's some bad arse service when your TV works when the power is out.
