Our crews continue to safely restore power to the remaining customers impacted this major winter weather system that brought extreme cold, snow and icing across parts of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
A winter storm continues to impact our service area
A winter storm has arrived and is impacting our service area.
A winter storm will begin impacting our service area starting today.
Even as Entergy employees continue to respond to outages caused by widespread severe thunderstorms, our workers are prepared to respond to another major winter event across our service area.
Entergy team members train for, and have been through, some of the worst disasters to impact the communities we serve. Hurricanes, tornadoes and winter ice storms are often described as “having a mind of their own,” but advanced planning and training makes the overall response as immediate and efficient as possible.
Entergy’s Storm Center has consistently been one of the highest-visited sections of our company’s website. The updated safety and weather-focused site has a new, cleaner look and a more customer-centric layout making it easier to find information and resources.
Communities across Entergy’s service area continue to experience the effects of historic high temperatures combined with extended severe drought conditions. Since the onset of this extraordinary heat wave and lack of rain, we have continually monitored weather conditions and the increased risk of wildfires caused by these highly unusual weather conditions.
National Preparedness Month issponsored every Septemberby the Federal Emergency Management Administration to highlight the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies that could happen at any time. As we roll through the busiest part of the hurricane season and encounter a heightened risk of wildfires, we’re reminded how unpredictable Mother Nature can be year-round: Since January, our customers have been impacted by severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, winter storms and record-breaking heat.
With continued high temperatures expected in the coming days across parts of our service area, we ask customers to join us in taking every precaution to remain safe from the extreme heat and follow any local or state orders, like full or partial burn bans.
