The growing menace of barge rage

Jackie's navy is still in dry dock, unfortunately.  Meanwhile the chaos is growing.

A barge on the Mississippi River hit “something” early Wednesday morning (June 12), knocking out power for thousands in Algiers, according to a report from WDSU. 

More than 5,000 Entergy customers along the river lost power for about two hours, according to the utility company’s outage map. Power had been restored to all but 50 customers as of 6:30 a.m.

Entergy told WDSU a barge hit “something” that knocked over a utility pole on River Road at Patterson Road. The crash happened around 4:20 a.m., the report said.
