Edwards refused outside help. Wants to make Trump's response look bad.

Was in Lake Charles yesterday, there were hundreds of powerline crews working. They are restoring substations first, no point in restoring lines in your neighborhood if there is no power to feed them. Next priority was removing poles and lines that are blocking roads. DOTD and the Parish will not move power lines to clear roads.

They were passing out ice and water. Ice is super hard to come by right now.

More than 240,000 customers were without power in Texas, according to PowerOutage.us, which tracks blackouts around the country.
Those in the southeastern part of the state in Jefferson, Orange and Hardin counties the most affected. More than 580,000 customers were suffering from outages in Louisiana, as the eye passed over Lake Charles, ripping off roofs, downing trees and bringing high floodwaters.
I think La was a little mot affected than Texas...

Power crews are still in the assessment phase in SWLA as we took a far worse hit. They’re everywhere.
Military personnel are working our ERs. National Guard is distributing supplies. My step dad in Sulphur just received some.
There’s still a massive amount of tree and debris clearing that has to take place before they can start throwing up power lines.

Hey bro. I am from Louisiana. When the hurricane that hit Rockport Texas in 2017 I was living there. The local Texas utility companies rolled. The have equipment and don't frick around. They get it done.
There is not of a street or road in Calcasieu Parish, and for miles beyond that does not have most of the power distribution grid destroyed. Just getting the number of replacement utility poles that will be required will take some time. They typically have a few dozen in local yards, tens of thousands are now needed.

Natonal Guard is in my town passing out supplies and clearing roads with heavy equipment.

She knew she was in over her head and W met her on Air Force 1 and offered to take over. In typical Democrat fashion, Blanc0 and her handlers wanted that federal money to come through their hands first, so she declined. Many people suffered needlessly over her decision.

Slidell looked like that after Katrina, and it took a month to get power to my house, and I thought it would be longer. Pretty impressive, but there will be many waiting that long in SWLA. Worst part of life on the Gulf Coast.

Most of our family lives in Groves, TX. 5 different households without power and they are all hearing Tuesday afternoon 6pm direct from the power company.
Other people are on message boards and hearing much longer. Not sure what is going on but it is going to take some time.

Dude there was nearly 400 bucket trucks parked at Burton Coliseum, the day after the storm.
Also, it’s going to take those guys roughly a month to restore power to all parts of the city. The amount of poles needed to replace what was destroyed is in the thousands. It’s going to take time, but the crews are there.
