NOW. RIGHT NOW, THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS ARE IN THE DARK AS STORMS MOVE FROM THE NORTH SHORE THROUGH THE SOUTH SHORE. CLECO AND ENTERGY ARE REPORTING OUTAGES. NEARLY 4500 OUTAGES IN NEW ORLEANS, NEARLY 2000, IN SAINT TAMMANY. YEAH. WE WILL CHECK IN WITH YOUR FIRST WARNING WEATHER IN JUST A MOMENT ON THE CONDITIONS WEATHER WISE, BUT FIRST, WDSU REPORTER JONAH GILMORE IS LIVE ON CHIPPEWA STREET IN THE LOWER GARDEN DISTRICT, AND, JONAH, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE OUT THERE? PRETTY DARK, I SEE BEHIND YOU. WELL, YEAH, YOU SAID IT THERE IT IS. PRETTY DARK HERE AT THE INTERSECTION OF CHIPPEWA AND PHILLIPS STREET. WE ARE JUST A BLOCK OFF OF JACKSON, A FEW BLOCKS FROM THE TCHOUPITOULAS WALMART. AND YOU CAN SEE IT’S DARK ENERGY. ENTERGY SAYS ABOUT 4000 CUSTOMERS ARE WITHOUT POWER RIGHT NOW, AND WE’VE BEEN SEEING SOME NEIGHBORS WALKING THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD TELLING US THAT THEIR POWER HAS BEEN OUT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. WE HAVE JENNIFER RIGHT HERE. JENNIFER, STEP IN. YOU LIVE IN THE AREA RIGHT HERE. YOU SAID YOU’VE BEEN WITHOUT POWER FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. JUST START BY TELLING US I MEAN, IT WAS RAINING. POWER WENT OUT. WHAT KIND OF HAPPENED? I THINK THERE WAS JUST A BIG STRIKE OF LIGHTNING, AND THAT’S ALL IT TOOK. AND IT WAS JUST. IT WAS JUST STORMY. AND I WAS COOKING AND THEN NO POWER. SO I GRABBED THREE CANDLES, KEPT COOKING, AND THEN I SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK IT’S A GOOD TIME TO WALK THE DOG. NOW, IS THIS COMMON HERE IN THE UPTOWN AREA, WHEN YOU HAVE RAIN COME THROUGH THE AREA THAT YOU LOSE POWER? UM, HIT OR MISS? HIT OR MISS, LIKE ON AND OFF. SO. AND I’VE ALSO BEEN HERE FOR A YEAR, SO I HAVEN’T EXPERIENCED EXTREME STORMS. AND THAT’S THE THING. YOU KNOW, WE TALKED TO ANOTHER NEIGHBOR UP THE BLOCK. SHE SAID THAT IT DIDN’T SEEM LIKE IT WAS IT WAS RAINING PRETTY HARD. BUT THEN YOU LOST POWER. SO I MEAN, IS THAT A CONCERN FOR YOU, CONSIDERING THAT YOU DIDN’T HAVE A PRETTY STRONG STORM AND THE POWER’S OUT? UM, NO. I’M GOING TO HAVE FAITH THAT IT WILL BE RESTORED SOON. UM, JUST A COUPLE BLOCKS. IT LOOKS LIKE PEOPLE HAVE POWER, SO IT’S VERY SKETCHY. HIT OR MISS POWER SITUATION GOING ON. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH, JENNIFER. AND SHE SAID IT THERE. IF YOU LOOK DOWN THE ROAD WE DRIVING IN THE AREA. THERE ARE SOME BLOCKS THAT HAS POWER HERE. BUT IN THIS AREA RIGHT HERE THERE’S NO POWER. IT’S COMPLETELY DARK HERE. AGAIN ENTERGY SAYING ABOUT 4000 CUSTOMERS ARE WITHOUT POWER. WE DID HEAR SOME TRUCKS. NOT SURE HOW FAR AWAY THOSE TRUCKS ARE AND IF THOSE TRUCKS ARE WORKING ON POWER OUTAGES. BUT WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON AIR AND ON
