Power Back-up On for Freeze[Audio]
Power officials are doing everything they can to ensure a major blackout like what happened in Acadiana about two weeks ago doesn't happen during these freezing temperatures.
Up to 20-thousand customers at a time were without power during that two hour rolling black out after Christmas. LUS, Cleco and Slemco customers were affected by the outage. A malfunction in an Entergy power line which connects in Acadiana triggered the outage.
KPEL's Suzanne Ferrara spoke to LUS Director Terry Huval about whether he expects another outage will occur.
