Tropical Depression Nicholas continues its slow trek across Louisiana bringing heavy rainfall and winds.  The potential for flash floods will linger across southern Louisiana into Thursday.  Despite the challenges brought on by Nicholas’ rain and thunderstorms, crews continued restoration efforts where it was safe to do so.  Power has been restored to nearly 95% or 854,000 of the 902,000 customers who lost power due to devastating Hurricane Ida.  The majority of the 48,000 customers that remain without power are in the hardest hit areas of the Bayou Region, River Parishes and I-55 corridor extending to the Northshore.  We are committed to repairing and rebuilding the electric system until every customer who can safely receive power has been restored.
