More than 475,000 electricity customers lost power on October 28, as Hurricane Zeta made its way through southeast Louisiana, according to local media.

Nola.com reported that energy companies Entergy and Cleco said electricity was interrupted for 476,620 customers across several parishes on Wednesday evening.
