STORYLINE:
Residents of the Carrollton neighborhood in New Orleans are among the thousands of utility customers in the city who remain without power after Hurricane Francine passed through.

Their frustration mounted Friday as the city’s utility provider, Entergy, sent out notifications informing some people their power had been “restored” even though they still had no electricity.

At its peak, more than 450,000 customers were without power.
