Crews expect to have power restored by 10 p.m. Sunday to the majority of customers affected by the severe thunderstorms that struck north Louisiana. Entergy Louisiana is coordinating with state emergency preparedness officials to continue its efforts until all customers have been restored.

Entergy’s number one priority is the safety of our workers and the public and would like to remind everyone that a downed power line can be deadly.
