Subject of report, Major busted gas main due to digging for new power pole by Entergy.
Broken pole and held only by wires with power wire laying across my home reported around 7am 3-29-18.
Inspectors for gas lines as well as for the pole itself flagging and taping and Entergy said it would be done that day.
After several calls later in the day the workers showed up around 9pm and digging for the new pole started around 10pm after the power was cut off.
We tried to go to bed but I have to use oxygen and C pap when sleeping. Yes I am a disabled Vet. US Coast Guard
A loud strange noise similar like a jet started. I could here the machines and trucks being turned off.
I looked out the window and saw the people running away. My step son asked what was going on?
None of the Entergy workers came to evacuate us from the house but when I saw what was going on I woke up my wife to get her dressed to leave as well as my stepson and get away from the danger zone. After about 40 minutes after no explosion and shifting winds allowed. Michael and I went back in to secure our cats to the back room of the house and open the windows for fresh air and took our dogs back to the back kennel and gabbed some folding chairs for I can't stand that long. I know that was dangerous but our animals are our family to.
It took awhile before the police showed up and the fire department wasn't notified until I called wondering the police office itself 2 hours out in the cold wind. Entergy workers said that they had already called 911 earlier and trying to get the gas people out there to cut off the gas. which also arrived around 2 hours afterword for the breakage of the gas main. The gas man told us that it was going to have to routed around due to where and what would end loosing gas. chief of the fire department said they were not called and since I could not get to my truck being in the danger zone gave my family and I a ride down to my little work shop to at least to keep warm. No other help for our security was offered by others.
Come morning after 7:15 a friend gave us a ride back to check on the house and animals. The gas was finally rerouted through lines that was ran through my porch area to allow Entergy to do what they had to do. I was able to get my truck at that time and still could not stay at the house. So we went to get some breakfast at the outpost towards Minden of 79 and make decision of what we could do till they where done. We arrived back around 3 and the gas people said that Entergy just got done before we got back. The gas people where dug several large holes to welds in new pipe and such. The other surprise was we no longer had water either. The gas people called several times to get someone to come fix and lay new water lines and could not get no one to do the job and we still do not have water today, and it looks like the gas co may have caved in my sewer line as well.

Today I am off to city hall, and then calling for a good lawyer.

In process of looking for a lawyer. Entergy blaming gas co for not properly marking gas line. Funny I walked with the gas man marking the gas lines. The gas lines and the existing broken power pole where very very close to each other. They could have easily missed the gas line by moving the pole position a foot closer to my house instead of trying to keep it perfectly side by side with the older pole.
