Well I live in Louisiana also and have been down 26 days for the last one, and 16 days for a prior one, and I'm not on the coast.
Just because you weren't set up to receive it doesn't mean you were down or that it was ENTERGY's fayl...sometimes it's your own fault.
Sure, was unable to received electricity after Katrina several weeks/months....that doesnt mean if I was set up I couldn't receive it

Orleans Orleans Parish indeed is not under a boil water advisory, making it safe to drink the tap water.
So Orleans parish, what about Jefferson parish? The good thing for them was most everyone didn’t have to worry about boiling water, because there was none. Most of Metairie was out of water for weeks.
JP water and power issues
You can nitpick all you want, but the states response and preparation over the years to the storm in Louisiana was shite compared to Florida.

And this again.
I'm not in the powerline business and have no clue as the the "why not" but sure would like to know why power companies in hurricane prone areas haven't done or don't do the transition from pole to underground.

I heard today they are expecting 100% power restoration by Sunday after being hit head on by essentially a cat 5 storm. That’s incredible.
For Fort Meyers and some of the islands that the eye hit? I find this to be impossible....hell they have no way to drive to some of the islands

There are parts of Jefferson Parish...i.e. Grand Isle and Lafitte still dont have water

As to, "Who does that?"......pussy bitches who are weak, pathetic little men.
What have we learned today? Besides Desantis being a badass governor, we have also learned that Cahoots is in fact a pussy bitch.

It started after Homestead got wiped off the map by Andrew.
Yep. The building codes definitely changed after Andrew. But many of the power grid upgrades didn’t happen until after the 04 and 05 hurricanes. People were without power for weeks in Palm Beach and Martin Counties. FP&L HQ is in jupiter so they snapped into action because some of the big exes lost power for over a week

Underground utilities vs overhead lines.

Louisiana and I've never been out of power for more than just a few days
I know know you live Uptown. Are you nearby Children's or Touro? Hospitals, and the surrounding neighborhoods, usually get energized first. That could explain why you power comes on relatively quickly.
The past few storms that I can think of off the top of my head:
Gustav - about 4 or 5 days in Metairie. Neighbors across the street had power after 1 or 2 days. Plenty of jokes about no paying my Entergy bill.
Isaac - 3-1/2 days. Power was restored around 6:15pm and LSU kicked off against Texas St at 6:30. Miserable hot and humid in Madisonville.
Ida - fricking 8 days. I think we were about the last neighborhood in Metaire to get power back.

It's expensive AF to put transmission and distribution lines underground. The big lines are about $3MM a mile to bury.
