The strong winds and heavy rain associated with two waves of incoming severe weather has the potential to knock out power across the New Orleans metro, including in Jefferson and St. Tammany parishes. 

Power companies keep the public informed of outages through interactive maps online. 

Here's how to check for outages in your neighborhood from Entergy and Cleco.
