Scattered power outages after overnight lightning show
BATON ROUGE - About one-thousand customers were without electricity Sunday morning after overnight storms rolled through the city.
Outages were scattered and clusters impacted as many as 50 to 100 people in some isolated areas. Entergy said it was hoping to restore most people by lunch Sunday afternoon.
Storms sparked an impressive lightning show in the night sky Saturday night.
