Katrina - Entergy gives stats of which zip codes have or will have power

By A.J. Levy

I’m an evacuee from New Orleans. There are lots of people, who, like me, have had to leave New Orleans. One of the things that is stopping us from returning is the lack of power in our homes and offices. Therefore, it may be helpful for people to know whether power is available, and if it isn’t, when it will be available.

Well, now you can check by zip code or by area (such as the CBD or the French Quarter) Entergy’s stats of percentages of customers who have power and the “Estimated Restoration Completion Date Summary” for those with no power.

This may help you or others decide when to go in.
