BATON ROUGE, La. — The widespread power outages caused by Hurricane Isaac have nearly all been repaired.
The Public Service Commission says nearly 41,000 homes and businesses remained without electricity Tuesday. That's about 2 percent of customers.
The largest remaining outages were in the two parishes hardest-hit by Isaac's flooding: Plaquemines and St. John the Baptist parishes. Plaquemines had 47 percent of its utility customers without power, and St. John had 27 percent waiting to be restored, according to the PSC data.

Crews
are pitchforking dead nutria into front-end loaders on beaches in
southern Mississippi. The Sun Herald reports that an estimated 16,000 to
18,000 of the semiaquatic, rat-like rodents and other dead animals
washed up in Hancock County up after drowning in Hurricane Isaac's storm
surge. A federal contractor, U.S. Environmental Services, will dump the
bodies in a landfill rated to take household garbage.
