And once again, Entergy's outage information system is garbage. Says my power is on, when several subdivisions are out.

It is a scary situation when a Transformer blows. They are a pressure vessel full of copper and mineral oil. Below is a picture from a job site many moons ago.

Tunica is about to have the tallest wind turbines in the US in the next few months and most of my projects are solar interconnections. It's a huge scam but the government money is just too good.

Bushings are installed when transformer is received on site for Entergy

This is true for a new transformer or ones being scrapped. With the bushings installed you run into height limitations on the route. They will arrive onsite, dress them out (bushings, radiators and cops tank) and fill them with oil. Some utilities have old transformers fully dressed strategically located. Now they have mobile emergency substations to deploy for temp. supply during natural disasters and emergencies.
