OH boy yea they were prepared. a week.......a week........to get power back to the most REMOTE areas of LITLE ROCK..... true professionalism....i am leaving my hat on

My hats off to Entergy and West tree service Asplunda and every other person (volunteer or paid employee) Weather your local or from some were els that is out there in the weather working so diligently to clear trees and limb's,replacing power poles restringing and replacing power lines. You guys are working selflessly to get restoreation and averything back to normal and confortable for all of us. THANK you guys and GOD bless and protect each and every one you and your families. Onece again thank you...You are worth so much more than your pay. To some of the rest of you out there thats doing all that complaining.... Shame on you! Those guys have been tasked with a heavy load. They are doing all they can for your stinking butt while your sitting on your tail under a bundle of blanketts trying to stay worm and dry. They are out in the weather... Wet and cold. Some won't even heat up some water over a bunson burner and make some coffee or hot chocolate for them. Stop all that complaining and atleist give em a little moral support.

lifes2short27, I dont have a comment to your latest post because I do not have a clue what in the hell you were trying to say.

I guess it is just you who want to be an @$$hOle first off i pay my bills faithfully just speaking on some real mess thats a part of doing they job so they said they was prepared and on standby well wtf is going on since they can come with some answers then smart @$$ isitjustme can you...since u wanna cosign.so thats my opinión

For those that want to bash the power companies, you need to just shut it. When you have 190,000+ outages, for various different reasons (snow, ice, trees) you dont just go out and flip a switch and *poof* the power is back on. And for the person that commented about getting it turned off when you dont pay, you must be speaking from experience. I seriously doubt 190,000 people are getting their services cut off for non payment at one time. The number is probably pretty low, therefore it is easier to get that task done. You want to bash the electric companies for their lack of being prepared. Did any of you prepare for this by establishing a secondary source of electricity? And yes, the co-op's are usually faster to get power restored, since they are usually covering such a small area. Be grateful for what you have, it could always be worse.

My biggest gripe with Entergy is this. Some time ago Entergy announced they would discontinue clearing easements (to keep this from happening) because of financial reasons. It seems it was more cost effective to handle storms "if" and "when" they occur. Our Public Service Commission allowed this to happen and now the central part of Arkansas is paying a huge price for Entergy's greed. We should and must demand more from the largest provider of electricity in our State. This is unconscionable, let alone not even providing some answers to when we should have our power back on. Hurricane Sandy had estimates generally within 24 hours...we are literally "kept in the dark". Thanks to all the workers with Entergy, but shame on management!

Thats just foolery ..a week it dont take entergy a week to come and cut you off when u cant pay the bill what kind of mess is this..smdh what about these ppl food thats gonna go to waste..what about the infants and elderly..god bless us all its going to be alot of mad and sick ppl.

My comment is not for any of you. But for "Entergy Arkansas". You have most of the state in your pom of your hands, you will not employ the man power that you need for the demand that you have. Your rates are ridiculous. So glad that I am with a COOP that only over see's 4 county's and when our power go's? Within 2 hours our power is back on. Seance we moved here in 04 we have had great service with South Central COOP.

How did you post this?????

Perry County does not show as having outages.. but we in Bigelow, don't laugh, are sitting in the dark... any word on the number of folks without power in Perry Couty?
