Power went out to much of the downtown area in New Orleans early this morning.
"Mid city has just gone completely dark after a bright flash," one person texted WWL.
Entergy says the outage started at 5:29am.
About 3,000 customers lost electricity.
The estimated restoration time is by 8:30am.
The power company posted, "An outage has been reported in your area. Additional information will be provided when available. We apologize for this inconvenience."
