Violent winds and thunderstorms Easter Sunday caused some 128,000 customer outages across the Entergy Arkansas service territory, with damage that could take multiple days to repair.

Waves of violent thunderstorms crossed Louisiana on Easter Sunday, downing limbs and uprooting trees onto power lines and snapping utility poles in some areas, causing outages for thousands of customers. Crews are performing damage assessments and restoring power where it is safe to do so, including in hard hit north Louisiana where Monroe and West Monroe officials reported their communities suffered significant tornado damage.
