METAIRIE – A power outage in Jefferson Parish has left over 18,000 Jefferson Parish residents in parts of Metairie, Kenner, and River Ridge without power.

The outage stretches from the Mississippi River to I-10 near Lafreniere Park, according to an outage map provided by Entergy.

Entergy published a tweet just after 10:15 saying that the outage had been partially contained, and that only 5,700 customers were still without power. However, according to the Entergy outage map, that number was still above 18,000 at the time of the tweet.
