Lousiana power grid severely damaged by Gustav

People can try to return home now after Hurricane Gustav, but the power might not be stable, or even functioning. 13 of 14 transmission lines serving the New Orleans metro area are not functioning. That mean that area can not get electricity from anyplace else.

It could take weeks to repair all the damage.
