95% of customers with power a week and 1/2 after storm - Does that mean 95% of those whose power went down, or 95% of all of their customers?
What timeframe does LA usually get power restored?
Just curious.

Good question. Maybe someone from Florida knows.

Well yeah. They don’t have ENTERGY.

Just accept that Florida is a better run state, in every aspect, than Louisiana

You know what else you hardly see in Florida on major transmission lines? Wooden poles. They have upgrading to metal for over a decade now.

Oh CNN is trying hard to find something that can be blamed on the governor (but not FEMA or POTUS, as was their target for Katrina).

So 2 weeks after landfall?
Sounds about normal

The army of linemen from around the South was/is massive.

That's great.. The State started cleaning up almost immediately. Thinking about last year with Ida.. That rickety power tower on the Westbank that fell over and caused the whole area to lose power.. Who the hell let that crap to be built like that?

Well, Florida > worthless land between Mississippi and Texas

Florida started a huge storm resiliency push about 15 years ago. Spent a ton of money on infrastructure hardening so restoration would be faster. Entergy just started doing that this year.

Kid in my bass club is a lineman. He was in Orlando ahead of the hurricane. I'm sure he'll be there a while, but he said it wasn't that bad compared to other places he's been.

There's a ton of crews down there working right now. My company sent 200 completed crews and they're working 18s.
Another one lost in all this is how impressive Puerto Rico has been with restoration compared to Maria now that they're under different management.

Floridians can turn on the news and see a real leader conducting disaster operations. Louisianians get the pleasure of a slight chromosome missing imbecile dressed up in a GOSHEP fishing shirt pretending to look competent.

Well the state doesn’t want to pay for it. And the customers bitch about utility bills. So the PSC won’t allow them to do it.

A lot more than the south. Our neighborhood had guys from Missouri and Ohio working. 95 last week was loaded with power trucks coming down it.
