will need to have power restored first if generators aren't available, and water boil will be necessary. Rachel M. is just now saying all 8 big transmission lines into the city were downed. Entergy said it may take up to 3 weeks to get power restored to all of the city. My oldest sister & her family stayed put. They have a generator but the intense heat & water situation are concerning. I'm going to urge them to go to stay w their oldest daughter in AL 2 hours away.
