power outage

There was a major power outage in a major Louisiana city, that ultimately led to a boil advisory.

It wasn't a storm or the heat but it was big enough to knock the air conditioners off for about 20,000 people on Wednesday afternoon.

Water and electrical service will be interrupted across portions of South Louisiana beginning today. Here's where and when the interruptions are planned.

It took a little more than a month to get over 93,000 south Louisiana residents back online following Hurricane Laura.

Service has been restored to over one hundred thousand customers in the area in a little less than three weeks.

Almost 100,000 Louisiana residents are still without electricity two and a half weeks after Laura's landfall.

Hundreds of thousands of customers were brought back online over the weekend, still, many more remain without power this morning.

If you were one of the 6,000 Louisiana residents without power yesterday, you're probably wondering what caused it.

The outage is planned for 10 PM tonight so that repairs can be made to a substation.

The planned outage is part of a systems and equipment upgrade for the area.

There's a large power outage from Broad Street and Enterprise Boulevard and west to Ryan Street.

UPDATE 10:10 a.m. -- DeQuincy Memorial representatives confirmed that they are evacuating some patients to Vinton after a portion of the roof was blown off the facility. The hospital, however, is still open and receiving patients as needed.
