Below are pictures of the convoy of equipment moving out of harms way as the water poured in and the winds increased. Minus these vehicles, restoration of power would have been become delayed well beyond a week.

Ike Rescue
Below are some dramatic pictures. As Ike approached the shore a utility company realized that one of its facilities in Port Fourchon La was at risk. With the hurricane surge combined with the tidal surge the yard that held about 500 vehicles, many of them the very vehicles needed to do repairs. Entergy quickly sent 11 busloads of drivers to navigate through rising water to evacuate the equipment ahead of the yard going under water.

I don't think I'd want to be driving one of those trucks through that storm surge!
