So, it might not have been Denham Springs last time, but what if it is next time?

This isn't that big of a deal. I think Entergy does a great job keeping the lights on and getting my lights back on quickly if they do go out. It's only two or three dollars a month. If I have to not supersize one meal a month at McDonald's, I think I'll live.
Can we be certain that this is an unbiased opinion? I wouldn't expect you to badmouth the company you work for.
