Of course Gustav was my freshman year of college coming from the Midwest. Rude awakening.

Gustav was about 36 hours, maybe 48.
Katrina never lost it at the same house.

Katrina = 32 hours

Gustav = 7 days

Isaac = never lost power

Barry = never lost power

Oh and the OP needs to include the 2016 floods as I never lost power and never flooded and I was just south of Baton Rouge at the time.

I was in New Orleans for Katrina and got to BR on Tuesday afternoon. I stayed at my sister's house in the Garden District. We were without power I think a couple of weeks..She says that it takes a long time for them to get power back anytime they lose it..They ended up getting a whole home generator..

We lost power for over two weeks with Gustav.

I feel like it was out longer with Rita than after Katrina.

This is for my parents, as I wasn’t in Baton Rouge for most of them, but I was for fricking Gustav (and Andrew).

Andrew: 5 hours. Around 3:00, Oprah’s show came on
Katrina: about 8 hours
Rita: didn’t lose power, but it was the closest to flooding besides the rain event from last month
Gustav: 6 days
Ike: maybe half an hour
Isaac: didn’t lose power, I believe but not positive
2016 flood: 2 days, didn’t come close to flooding
Barry: didn’t lose power

Where in Baton Rouge were you to get such a long outage for Katrina?

For Gustav, I know we were on the short end at almost a week, and some people went three weeks or longer for Andrew, but I didn’t realize Katrina caused problems in BR
