Lakeview Regional Medical Center Storm UP date 9/1/08 @ 5:00pm

The storm has now completely come ashore and the hospital has come through with minimal damage. However, Cleco is still evaluating the power lines and has not re-energized the power lines in most of St. Tammany Parish. At this time 61,118 homes in St. Tammany are without power. If you want to check on the status of Cleco service at your home you can log on to www.cleco.com Also, AT&T is having problems with their back up generator so phone coverage is spotty.

Cell phones are working for the most part, but text messaging is the most reliable means of communication at this point.

St. Tammany is currently on a dusk to dawn curfew and they are delaying re-entry into the parish until late Wednesday or early Thursday.

Please contact your supervisor regarding staffing from Wednesday on. If you know of staff that are having a hard time getting calls in, let them know that they can call in through the satellite phone in the command Center at 404-397-1342.
