entergy mississippi storm update – 8/31/21 @ 2 p.m.
08/31/2021
entergy mississippi has restored power to about 26,000 customers since tropical storm ida caused power outages for approximately 46,000 customers on monday. as of 2 p.m., about 20,000 customers remain without power.
the storm, which made landfall in louisiana as a category 4 hurricane, has left our territory. in mississippi, the hardest-hit areas include the brookhaven/mccomb and natchez/gloster areas. damage assessment continues using drones, helicopters and scouts on the ground, and should be nearly complete today.
we have brought in additional resources to help with restoration efforts. our workforce includes more than 2,000 lineworkers, contractors and support staff from 15 states. restoration work is proceeding as safely as possible. crews continue to take additional safety measures required for covid-19, including social distancing. we ask customers to do the same. for their safety and yours, please stay away from our work zones.
we continue to make good progress along the i-20 corridor and should restore the majority of these customers by the end of today (jackson, vicksburg and communities along that line) as well as in greenville, an area in the ms delta that also received damage.
most of our damage was in the metro jackson area and especially southwest mississippi, south of jackson and vicksburg on down to south of natchez. these towns include natchez, gloster, mccomb and brookhaven. in the south end of the state, we continue to restore and assess damage. we are optimistic that our restoration efforts will be complete by thursday.
as of last night, we now have service to all of our substations. so far, we have found 60 broken poles, 254 spans of wire down, 26 broken cross arms and 19 damaged transformers. trees across roads have presented a challenge in restoration as well as damage assessment

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, 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.
- keep away from the immediate areas where crews are working. there is always the danger of moving equipment and the possibility of construction materials or 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 home main electric panel.
- do not run a generator in a confined space without adequate ventilation.
- avoid using candles or other flammable devices to warm your home.
- do your medical needs require electricity? if so, make sure you have a plan in case of a power outage. learn more: www.entergystormcenter.com.
- 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.
