Mylar Balloons Cause Power Outages in New Orleans East: A Recurring Issue
New Orleans East residents experienced a power outage on Sunday night, affecting over two thousand Entergy customers. The cause? A Mylar balloon that snagged a power line, marking another incident in a series of outages caused by these balloons. Just last month, a similar incident in the Fairgrounds area left five thousand customers without power. The city council had banned Mylar balloon releases last year, but the problem persists as people continue to release them. Utility crews urge residents to opt for safer alternatives at parties, as Mylar balloons conduct electricity and pose a serious risk to the grid.
