Holy moly, Ike better stay away from Louisiana. New Orleans came out alright from Gustav, but like half of Baton Rouge still has no power! I'm one of the lucky few who got it back pretty quickly-I only had to go about a day and a half without even though I thought it would be much longer. I have friends 2 blocks away going into day 8 without right now and Entergy is saying it may not be back in many areas until Sept. 24 and that's not even taking Ike hitting us into consideration! The preparedness level for this has been disappointingly low. What was more upsetting to me was that restaurants and places like that are getting power back before grocery stores and gas stations which are what people really need right now! So Ike stay away!
