Entergy Mississippi crews have restored service to nearly 41,000 customers who lost power during storms that struck our service area on Sunday, April 12. Entergy’s grid sustained considerable damage, mostly north of a line from Yazoo City to Kosciusko, and several communities were without power for nearly a week. Damage included more than 427 broken poles, 890 spans of wire down, and damage to 94 transformers. More than 1,150 field workers, contractors and support staff assisted with our restoration efforts. All customers affected by this storm who can safely accept electrical service have been restored.

A large line of severe thunderstorms with straight-line winds passed through Arkansas late Sunday evening April 12 causing more than 128,000 customer outages across the state. The heaviest area of impact was south of Interstate I-40. Additional resources have helped with the restoration. Restoration has been slower than normal due to COVID-19 social distancing requirements. We have restored power to about 95% of the 128,000 customers who lost power in the Easter Sunday storms. With a team of 3,308 workers tackling the most difficult repairs today, we expect to get all or nearly all the remaining outages restored between now and 10:00 tonight. Please refer to the outage map for your specific location.
