NO one here was surprised. You’d have to understand how completely INCOMPETENT Entergy La is. We waited 8 days after Issac for power- while convoys of repair trucks sat idle waiting for instructions. We BROILED in 90+ degrees,lost all our food and complained. Other areas served by Cleco etc were back in service in a couple of days. Entergy + N.O. lazy maintenance led to this. My question is- since Mercedes Benz now underwrites the Dome-why didn’t that company make sure it was in 100% working order,complete check of everything. They can certainly afford it.

Oh. Entergy. Those crapweasels. Why didn't you say so? They stink. Took them about three weeks to restore power north of Houston after Hurricane Ike. You'd almost be better off powering your house with a generator using hamster-on-treadmill drive than relying on Entergy.

I lived near Jackson, MS for a few years and Entergy tore up my front yard. After they sent some half-a$$ed help to patch up the lawn, I threatened them with court. They finally paid up.

Two obvious causes:

1. Global warming.
It was Bush's fault.<> FYI..MB doesn't "underwrite" the SuperDome..they just pay for "naming rights"..they have nothing to do with the running/maintenance of the place. However, if the SuperDome is NOT run properly, then MB can cancel the deal, take their name off the place....too bad Yugo isn't around anymore.

I certainly hope you have since installed a backup generator in advance of the next hurricane.

I don't think MBZ has any control over anything other than the color of the logo painted on the ceiling. They bought naming rights, and nothing more.

I apologize if I missed any sarcasm that may have been intended in your post.

By a small quirk of geography, I dodged the Entergy bullet and hae SLEMCO. I've been very satisfied with their service through several hurricanes.
