An Entergy spokesperson told WWL-TV about 3,000 customers were without power in the Warehouse District Sunday, but power was restored by 5 p.m.
The Entergy New Orleans power outage map showed one customer was without power, however red lines, which indicates power lines that are off, were on several streets throughout the Warehouse District, including parts of Julia St., Girod St., St. Joseph St. and Fulton Street.
