I have no doubt, thanks in large part to help from other states.

I do worry about supplies though, especially things like towers. This may end up getting the San Juan stitch job like after Maria.


I expect nothing less from Entergy.

I can attest to that.

Also, water pressure is low or nonexistent in downtown Houma.

Is there any verification that the transmission towers fell into the river?

If the transmission line is down, everything is down. That’s restoring every line. Every pole. Every connection. THAT’S what you’re looking at.


That is 100% not the case

All I know is it’s blowing like a mofo in Hammond right now. Major gusts. I just lost a big sawtooth oak in my back yard

Correct. I’m planning a big DC transmission line in the NE now and it’s a motherfricker.

Undoubtedly.
My point was that it’s now further west than it’s ever been.

Are these the power lines that are down? These cross the river at the 9 Mile plant but I read earlier that NOLA get it's juice from Waterford 3 in Hahnville.


That's my guess. They come across the river near Oak St/River Rd.

Yep. Dutchtown getting calmer.

Feel bad for the folks on the other side the eye. They had a bad experience.

It became evident fairly early on that Houma would never sniff the dreaded NE wall.

Sure the west wall got kind of close. Then it bolted straight NE.

Now it’s headed back NW. That’s all I’m saying.

This isn't a very good take:

I'm curious about this as well


Entergy map was inaccurate about outages after Laura. They showed Graywood and the Prien Lake Mall with power for substantial time even though power was out. It was an error.

Same thing could be happening here.

Im saying I watched Houma get crushed for hours by the inner core and mesovorticies.

Its bad there, without a doubt.




I don't get all the dick slapping going on, as if the info isn't backed by facts and science.

It would make sense that the majority of power comes from Waterford and those lines shouldn't cross the river, but we're talking about LA so who knows
