Just over 1,100 customers remain without power tonight after Entergy Arkansas crews restored power to thousands over the last several days. More than 46,000 customer interruptions have been restored since Friday evening.

Being a lineman is not easy. It’s not a job for the faint of heart. It requires both physical and mental dexterity and stamina. It’s hard work, especially during restoration efforts following a major storm, so being prepared and properly trained is essential. In addition to the rigorous training completed prior to being hired, linemen first serve as an apprentice.

Entergy Arkansas continues to make significant progress to restore power to more than 21,053 customers impacted by severe weather in the Hot Springs and Little Rock areas. The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado touched down in Hot Springs early this morning causing significant damage around the Lake Hamilton and Lake Catherine areas. That storm cell then moved across Southwest Little Rock in the Baseline network causing damage. Currently, approximately 2,300 Entergy customers remain without power.
