They are now in Houma, LA. (See maps below.) I talked to him yesterday just before they drove down and again when they arrived - after driving through the hurricane- and I hadn't heard from him since. Here is what he had to say:
- No power in the town at all.
- They do have running water.
- Only one person on his crew has cell phone service, and he is on "Roam."
- They slept in a shelter last night, but will have a hotel room tonight.
- They'll be there a while. He thinks about a month. He also said that he has been told this is Entergy's second largest outage ever - second only to Katrina. They didn't even do any repair work today. They just spent the day cleaning poles out of the streets.
Please keep these guys in your prayers.
