As the company prepares, so should customers

Severe weather can strike at any time, so Entergy stays prepared year-round, and urges customers to do the same.

Entergy’s Louisiana utilities remain prepared for the potential impact from severe weather today and tomorrow.

The Edison Electric Institute today presented Entergy Corporation with the association's "Emergency Assistance Award" after a severe windstorm impacted Dallas in June. Entergy also received the association's "Emergency Recovery Award" for its outstanding power restoration efforts after Hurricane Barry hit Louisiana in July.

Power has been restored to all customers who can safely receive it, but for hundreds of customers whose homes and businesses flooded during Imelda, it could be some time before their buildings can be energized.

Restoration workers have made tremendous progress restoring customers who lost power due to Tropical Storm Imelda. More than 95 percent of customers who lost power have been restored.

Entergy power restoration workers are chipping away at outage cases caused by Imelda’s wrath. Entergy Texas, Inc. has amassed nearly 700 workers as well as airboats, high-water vehicles and drones to restore power. As of 9 a.m. Entergy Texas had restored more than half of the customers affected by Imelda’s torrential rainfall. Crews are working today to restore approximately 13,000 customers still without power.

Significant rainfall and flash flooding continue to affect Entergy’s service territory. Jefferson, Orange, Galveston, Liberty, Chambers and Montgomery counties have been the most affected, with some areas receiving more than 20 inches of rain in the past day along with thunderstorms. As of 9 a.m. approximately 37,000 customers are without power.
