A round of thunderstorms with high winds and lightning moved through the Entergy Mississippi service territory today resulting in widespread customer outages.
The Edison Electric Institute recently awarded Entergy with its 50th Emergency Response Award, recognizing the dedication and excellence of our power restoration workers during and after Hurricane Francine.
Entergy Mississippi has successfully completed restoring power to all customers in whose homes and businesses could safely take electricity following Saturday night’s severe weather.
More than 91% of customers have been restored.
Entergy Arkansas continues to actively monitor the winter weather expected to move through the state this week bringing snow, sleet and freezing rain. While forecasts are continually changing and the exact impact to the Arkansas service area is hard to predict, crews are prepared to adapt to whatever the environment brings.
Entergy Mississippi crews, contractors, tree trimmers and scouts are working diligently to restore power following Saturday night’s severe weather system that caused widespread damages and a peak of 30,491 customer outages in the central and southern portions of our service area. As of 7 p.m., we have already restored power to about 26,000 customers.
Restoration underway after storms cause widespread damage across service area
No matter the season, severe weather has the potential to leave widespread damage and cause power outages. It’s why Entergy Mississippi is observing Severe Weather Preparedness Week (Feb. 9-15) and encouraging customers to do the same by making a plan.
