entergy arkansas continues storm restoration from laura
08/30/2020
hurricane laura entered the entergy arkansas service area thursday morning with heavy rains and tropical storm winds ranging from 40-50 mph and wind gusts up to 65 mph. although the initial storm system exited our service territory early friday afternoon, we’ve experienced isolated thunderstorms saturday afternoon and late evening causing additional storm damage. as of 8 a.m., power has been restored to approximately 85% of the customers who lost power as a result of these storms and 7,000 customers remain without power. the southern part of the state experienced the most significant damage, including downed trees, power lines, damage to high voltage structures and utility poles. damage assessments have identified a total of 252 broken poles, 328 damaged pieces of equipment and over 694 spans of downed wire across the state still needing to be repaired. we will continue to monitor the weather as isolated thunderstorms and high temperatures are forecast to continue throughout today and into monday across the entire state. additional crews and resources have been assigned to the heaviest hit areas to restore outages as quickly and safely as possible; however, given the severity of the storm and the potential for additional weather impacts, some outages could take longer to restore.
should you have structural damages and/or damages to your electrical service connection equipment please ensure all repairs and any required inspections are completed as soon as possible to avoid any further service delays.
more than 1,200 employees and contractors are supporting restoration efforts. entergy arkansas is practicing social distancing measures necessary during the covid-19 pandemic.
