Overnight thunderstorms brought heavy rains, strong winds, and lighting strikes into our service territory causing fallen trees and broken tree limbs resulting in outages and damages to our facilities.  As of 11 p.m. last night, a peak of 21,103 customers were without power. A strong restoration effort has taken place today and as of 7 p.m., 5,118 customers remain without power. Damage assessment has identified damages to 53 poles, 15 transformers, 35 cross arms, and over 42,000 feet  of downed wire. A workforce of damage assessors, vegetation crews, line workers, and support personnel are diligently working to restore power as quickly and safely as possible through this event. To support the restoration, 180 additional workers were requested and are currently working on site.

All impacted customers who can safely take power are expected to be restored tonight.

Crews have made substantial progress in restoring power after overnight thunderstorms brought heavy rains, hail, lightning strikes, and strong winds into Entergy Mississippi’s service territory.

However, an additional line of thunderstorms moved through the service area this afternoon, causing additional outages. As of 7:15 p.m., 16,488 customers are without power.
