Teams prepare 365 days a year with grid investments, storm drills and proactive maintenance

Preparing for severe weather is a year‑round priority. As part of our continuous focus on readiness, employees from across our four‑state service area recently participated in a system tropical weather exercise designed to strengthen our response to major weather events.

Hurricane season officially begins on June 1. However, the best time to prepare is before the season starts. Take these steps now to protect your household.

Entergy Mississippi has successfully completed restoring power to all customers whose homes and businesses could safety take electricity following this weekend’s severe weather. We are also monitoring the additional severe weather and preparing for the possibility that more storms could affect customers across our service area throughout this week, as soon as this evening.

Severe thunderstorms with high winds and heavy rain moved through the Entergy Mississippi service territory last night and early morning resulting in widespread customer outages. As of 4:30 p.m., approximately 9,975 customers are without power, down from a peak of 25,478 that occurred at 4:00 a.m. this morning. With the widespread outages and damage, some customers will carry overnight.
