Not a good showing for The new Gov. Jeff Landry so far. JBE would have been on top of this you can bet.

Getting worse than they expected I believe

Even two DOTD trucks crashed on bridge from sliding on ice.

ETA. Make that 3 DOTD trucks have crashed out


DOTD’s fleet took a beating tonight. I doubt that’s the end of it. MAP and DOTD are going to have some fleet issues, and that’s just in EBR. No telling how bad it is elsewhere in the state.

Entergy having the power stay out all night. Restoration is tomorrow at 6PM.

Real smooth moves with all the elderly and small children. Hate this GD State.

All this cold rain really stretched the grid.

Do y’all think it’s good to make the drive from Covington to New Orleans?
I saw the causeway closed due to ice

If you go out in it, have your head on a swivel. With everyone ignoring traffic signals or not using the most basic bits of common sense... it's more dangerous than it needs be.


Just watching the cameras in 511la I can tell people are a holes crossing the i10 in Lake Charles. The 210 bridge still looks closed.

After the hurricanes, entergy and different co-ops around the state boasted of all the upgrades and how it’ll strengthen the system against future storms and outages. Yet, it’s the same story every single time. It can’t be like this everywhere else.

The old bridge is open if you have to cross river on 190.

From Dalrymple on is an icy mess

Man, I want to tell you congrats on your expanded role. I've been away for a few years and tuned for some of the Saints games when I got back. I heard you doing more, and you've really grown.
