NEW ORLEANS — More than 15,000 customers are without power in Tangipahoa Parish.
Entergy says the outages are due to winter weather.
Tangipahoa Parish President Robby Miller told Eyewitness News, "either a relay or transformer failed at the Entergy substation in Hammond.
Initially, about 7,000 people lost power. Miller told us that the power had been slowly returning. But since then, the number of outages in the area has doubled.
