More than 400,000 people are still without power nine days after Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana.
As of Tuesday afternoon, 412,759 people were without power, according to numbers from PowerOutage.US. Ida made landfall on Aug. 29 and left more than 1 million people without power in Louisiana. The Louisiana Department of Health confirmed Tuesday that the death toll in the state is now at 15. Entergy, one of the utilities that provides power in Louisiana and Mississippi, said Tuesday that it has restored power to 60 percent of its 948,000 customers in both states that lost power, or about 571,000 customers. < -id="89" -m=""i":89,"p":60,"n":"-","y":12,"o":24" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0.6rem 2rem; font-size: 1.3rem; line-height: 1.8rem; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Arial, sans-serif; : rgb0, 0, 0; border-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; cursor: pointer; border-radius: 0px; appearance: none; color: rgb255, 255, 255; : relative; left: -64px;">Click to expand This includes 54 percent of its customers who lost power in Louisiana and all of its customers who lost power in Mississippi. Entergy said that for some of the communities that were hit hardest by the storm, power should be restored no later than Sept. 29, though estimates are subject to change.

You've got predominately swamp land, and you want to put underground electric in it? That'll sure give them gaters something to think about! It also would be cool to watch the cities light up when the tidal surge filled the underground manholes with water! I don't think that area is very well suited for underground electric.

Working in a area like that and worrying about getting power reinstalled isn't a thing that's going to happen overnight and the news media keeps harping on it, can't they find something better to talk about

We were lucky up here in the left hand corner of the state. We're in "high ground" so to speak compared to 50 miles East of us toward NYC. Folks that'a way got clobbered. Everything under water. We were out of power a few times because of fallen trees. The ground here in NJ has been saturated big time with all the storms we've been gettin'. Big top heavy trees fully leafed just topple over taking down a few spans of wire with them. I've gone through more gasoline in the ZT this year mowin' the lawn. I can't keep up wit' it! Our crews were pretty busy for a while. Even though I was on vacation retiring out, I was still in touch with quite a few of the linemen I worked with over the years. We've had three hurricanes come passin' through in the past 2 months. That's more than we had in 10 years! Sheesh! I don't miss those 16 hr. days on storm duty that's fir' sure!! Steve@B&B
