Hanks v. Entergy Corp‪.‬

This case concerns a lightning strike during an electrical storm that ultimately caused the destruction of an electrical transformer at the pole and the fire of an adjacent residence. The case was tried by judge alone and the determination of liability rested almost completely on expert testimony. The primary issue is whether the district courts finding of breach and causation as to the defendant, Entergy Louisiana, Inc. ("Entergy"), was manifestly erroneous.
