There was electricity just going and going like a wave. It just kept on going wave after wave.

It's surreal. I can't believe I made it from a total disaster to electricity.

You're seeing the effects of an electricity pricing mechanism that's tied to the cost of natural gas. Companies that are larger producers from coal and nuclear are getting a higher-than-anticipated benefit.

Where do you stage? Where do you go? You have to have communications, you have to have electricity, you have to have dry ground. These are all things that have to exist, and these are all things that don't exist in New Orleans.

We have no electricity, no public water that is safe to drink, and no telephones in most areas.

Basically, the electricity in my heart wasn't working correctly.
