Everybody on my street have power

Have been without power in Metairie at Whitney Place Condos since 5:30 PM on Wednesday, 10/28/20. No repair trucks or linemen even working anywhere in my area! Repair trucks and linemen all parked in the Clearview Mall parking lot doing nothing since Thursday morning! Entergy is as bad as the New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board. Entergy tells you anything they want when asked for a time for power restoration. Sine Thursday, 10/29/20, I have been told anywhere from a few hours to 10 plus days or more. Ridiculous!
