Power outages in Carrollton and Country Club Gardens reported to Entergy New Orleans. Waiting to hear back.

If you have lost power in New Orleans, Entergy New Orleans will not be sending trucks until winds are below 30 MPH. They will try switching power sources where possible.

This is an important update from the City👇👇

@swbno reporting high canal levels in Hollygrove, Lakeview, Gentilly, and maybe NOE. Also, the EMDs went offline and will likely prolong proper drainage.

Entergy has damage and repair crews in the field. About 50,000 customers without power. They work on restoring customers based on the number of people on a feeder. So, the greater number of people on a feeder will see restoration first and they work backwards from there.

UPDATE: Of 237 electric feeders, 37 are damaged. Damage assessment includes crews and other technology.

As of 5 pm, Entergy New Orleans has nearly 40,000 customers without power. That number is now 14,039 without power.

UPDATE: Entergy New Orleans has 1,100 customers without power and is shooting for full restoration by noon tomorrow.

Join us tomorrow for a community update on redevelopment of the former Sophie Gumbel training school.
