Late September 2005, Silsbee residents were dealt a devastating blow from Hurricane Rita.  Although, Entergy was already dealing with Katrina related issues in New Orleans, Entergy - Texas worked diligently to electricity to 17,000 customers in Hardin County by the end of three weeks.  "This is a great honor for us,"  commented Joe Domino, Entergy Texas president and chief executive officer.  "Certainly we didn't go into restoration efforts with the idea in mind to be recognized or rewarded in any way.  We were simply working very hard to do the best job we could so our customers could get their lives back together."  

Entergy will be formally recognized at the Silsbee Chamber of Commerce annual meeting and banquet Thursday, March 9, 2006, 7pm at the Silsbee High School
