Twenty years after hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf Coast, we are looking firmly to the future, accelerating investments to build a cleaner, more resilient energy grid for the 3 million customers we serve across four states.
Heading into the 2005 hurricane season, Entergy employees gathered to participate in the annual systemwide storm exercise. The fictional scenario that year involved two back-to-back hurricanes striking our service area. Fast forward a few months later, hurricanes Katrina and Rita made landfall less than a month apart.
Earlier this month, members of Entergy’s incident response team joined a working session with a group of Washington-based utilities, the City of Seattle, and the Washington State Department of Commerce’s energy resilience and emergency management team to share lessons learned from our 2024–2025 Super Bowl planning efforts.
On Aug. 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made its second of three landfalls near Buras, Louisiana – after initially crossing over South Florida. Hours later, after receding into the Gulf, Katrina returned slamming into the Louisiana-Mississippi border as a Category 3 hurricane.
