Plus One recognition helps lineman finish career on a high notenLineworkers are like celebrities when they roll in to restore power after a storm. In neighborhoods or on a lonely country road, there’s always someone who wants to say thanks, shake hands, offer a meal or ask for help. Hurricane Ida was no different.

Our restoration workforce continues to make progress, and as of 6:30 p.m., had restored nearly 75% of the approximately 10,200 customers who lost power due to the winter storm. As of 6:30 p.m., approximately 2,463 customers remain without power, mainly in Desoto and Tunica counties.

Entergy Mississippi Winter Storm Update – 2/4/22, 1:15 p.m.

Our crews continue their restoration efforts in north Mississippi and have restored power to more than half of the 10,203 customers who were affected by this latest winter storm. As of 1:15 p.m., we have 3,528 outages, with the majority of those in DeSoto County. We are still assessing in some areas and expect to be 100% assessed by the end of the day, assuming no new weather-related outages.  We anticipate being able to restore the vast majority of outages in Tunica by 10:00 p.m. tonight, but may have a few carry over to Saturday.

Entergy Mississippi Winter Storm Update – 2/3/22, 7 p.m.

As of 7 p.m., Entergy Mississippi has approximately 5,300 customers without power with the majority of those customers being in Desoto and Tunica counties. We also have some 800 field workers dedicated to restoring power to these customers, including Entergy Mississippi employees, contractors and crews from five additional states.

Entergy Mississippi Winter Storm Update – 2/3/22, 11:30 a.m.

We’ve been monitoring the winter weather over the past several days and are ready to respond to any outages.  Our initial forecast indicated a storm that was going to primarily be north and west of our service area, but the weather has slipped further to the south over the past day.  We’ve relocated the majority of our baseload contractors to Cleveland, Senatobia and Tunica, and have acquired non-baseload contractors that will be located in Southaven.  Additionally, two Entergy Mississippi teams from the south half of the state are moving to the area today.  We’re beginning to see some ice accumulation, and as of 11:20 Thursday morning we have approximately 6,890 customers out statewide with the majority of those being in Desoto County.

Who Dat?! Albert Carr Lives Up to Lineman of the Game Honor

Traveling, eating great food and watching sports are some of Albert Carr’s favorite hobbies. The senior cable splicer from Flowood, Mississippi experienced all three as Entergy’s Lineman of the Game when the New Orleans Saints faced the Carolina Panthers on January 2 in the Caesars Superdome. And when the Saints came marching in, Carr was among the fans chanting “Who Dat?!” and celebrating their victory.
