Lights back on at LeTourneau

Electricity to LeTourneau Technologies in south Warren County was restored Monday afternoon.

The facility was one of 750 Entergy customers that lost power after a tree fell on power lines during a storm Sunday night. LeTourneau was without electricity from about 11 p.m. Sunday to 2 p.m. Monday. About 500 employees were sent home, resulting in about nine hours of lost production time, LeTourneau General Manager Bo-D Massey said.

Other Entergy customers’ power had been restored by Monday morning, Mara Hartmann, an Entergy spokesman, said.
