Not unless it does more Transmission damage than Laura.

No.
Seen it happen when a tornado hit across from my parents house. Rolled up 3 towers like crumpled paper.
Energy came in built the towers and used a Chinook to put everything back together. Took about a week.

I’m almost certain Entergy shut power down in bogalusa or there’s a plant issue. Not sure where we get powered from. Power went off for everyone at once, even people in different segments.

Entergy tunneled the chalmette lines years ago for cruise ship access on the river. IMO all river crossings should have been done the same by now.

From what i've heard, all 8 major lines into NO are down right now.

The tower it’s connected to is a couple blocks from here. I figured it was the Avondale side because I would have heard the one here.

pretty sure it's this one that collapsed

This is 400’+ tower that spans 4,000 ft . There is no temporary fix . It will take time to fix. The good news is there are other feeds
Mute bad news is the other feeds are potentially damaged and no one will know how bad until they are assessed

So it didn’t actually blow into the River?

Survived. I’ll access tomorrow but tron in here seems like no damage and I didn’t traumatized my kids. Not sure how livable Metairie will be in the next few weeks so will have to start making some decisions
