entergy arkansas storm update – 4/5/25, 7 p.m.

04/05/2025

entergy arkansas crews have now responded to five rounds of severe weather since wednesday evening. customer outages were down to approximately 4,000 friday afternoon from a peak of 27,000 outages until storms today caused additional outages which peaked at 71,300. the latest rounds of severe weather brought straight-line winds of 60-plus mph and heavy rains, causing flooding, and downed powerlines, trees and limbs. this has resulted in access issues to our facilities and continues to impact our ability to restore power in some areas. currently, there are approximately 63,000 customer outages, and we estimate some customers in the most heavily impacted areas may experience extended outages. entergy arkansas crews continue to promptly restore power to the areas with ongoing customer interruptions caused by the multiple rounds of severe weather, which included two confirmed ef3 tornadoes.

we understand the loss of power is inconvenient and we appreciate your patience as our crews are working on your behalf in challenging conditions to safely restore power.

entergy arkansas crews, along with mutual assistance contractors, will restore power to customers as safely and quickly as possible until the job is done. to support the safety of our workforce and avoid fatigue, individuals should not work more than 16 hours in a 24-hour period and should never work more than 13 days in a row without a 24-hour rest period. this allows our restoration crews to get adequate rest and safely restore power when working.

damage assessment is underway in the newly impacted areas resulting from storms occurring friday evening and throughout today. we have requested additional crews to support restoration efforts and continue to shift resources and special equipment to assist with the hardest hit areas. damage estimates were approximately 60% complete as of 6 p.m. and include 446 broken poles, 767 spans of downed wire, 284 cross arms, 27 transmission structures and 124 transformers. as we continue to identify damaged equipment, restoration times will be updated accordingly. entergy arkansas strives to provide the most accurate information about outages. the best way to get information is through view outages on our website.

we want to remind you that roadways may be hazardous due to flash flooding and road debris, and we discourage unnecessary travel so that emergency personnel have safer, easier passage. if you must travel, please exercise caution and stay informed on local weather updates. customers with special needs or other circumstances are encouraged to plan for accommodations in the event of an outage.

consistent with our commitment to powering life for our customers every day, our crews are using this opportunity to continue to upgrade our infrastructure to further enhance reliability. in some cases, concrete poles are being used to improve system infrastructure and make it more resilient.

please remember, entergy arkansas restoration workers cannot restore power to a location with a damaged meter base, conduit or weather head, which is the metal pipe extending upward from the structure with electrical cables inside. these items must be repaired by a qualified electrician before our workers can restore power. learn more about the electrical equipment that serves your home.

the american red cross has opened a 24-hour storm shelter for all storm victims located in sharp county at the historic old hardy gym, 201 school ave, hardy, arkansas 72542.

as with any weather event, please be mindful of the following safety tips:

live wires can be deadly. stay away from downed power lines. call 1-800-9outage or 1-800-968-8243 to report downed or dangling power lines, damaged or downed poles or other damaged equipment.

do not trim trees or remove debris on or near downed power lines. only power company crews or their contractors should remove trees or limbs touching power lines. again, stay away from downed power lines.

keep away from the immediate areas where crews are working. there is always the danger of moving equipment and the possibility of construction materials, limbs or overhead wires falling to the ground.

if you plan on using a generator for temporary power, get a licensed electrician and disconnect from the utility electric system before hooking up to your main electric panel. 

do not run a generator in a confined space without adequate ventilation. use them only outdoors, following all manufacturers’ safety guidelines.

turn off any electrical appliances that can easily be turned to the off position until power is restored.

check on seniors, who can be particularly susceptible to extreme temperatures.

try to stay off the roads in affected areas. more traffic in bad weather leads to more accidents, including more injuries and fatalities as well as accidents that can damage electrical poles and other equipment, creating outages and impeding the ability of crews to access and repair damage and slowing restoration.
