Latest on Ida recovery inside
with Kelly P. Kissel | Metro editorThere's now a timetable for power restoration in the Baton Rouge area. Entergy says it should have most of the city reconnected to electric service by Wednesday. The time estimate does not apply to outlying parishes, some of which were hit more severely. Having trouble finding gasoline? You're not alone. Here's a look at why you're dealing with what you're dealing with. And here's a neighbor who's being neighborly, setting up a station where folks can come by to charge a phone, get a drink of water and just sit on a porch and relax. And here's a link to other cooling centers. With so much news unfolding so fast, we encourage you to sign up for our mobile alerts by texting “IDA” to (225) 351-0236.
