08/29/2020
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. the storm system exited our service territory early friday afternoon. as of 9 a.m., power has been restored to about 65% of the customers who lost power as a result of the storm and 17,000 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 are near completion, identifying a total of 171 broken poles, 175 damaged pieces of equipment, and over 389 spans of downed wire across the state still needing to be repaired. additional assessments will continue in the most heavily impacted areas such as magnolia and el dorado. we continue to monitor the weather as the forecast calls for isolated thunderstorms late saturday and sunday across the entire state. we are responding with additional crews and resources in 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 thunderstorms, 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.
for specific information out your particular outage, check our outage map at http://www.entergy.com/viewoutages. due to the additional safety measures our crews must take, restoration may take longer, especially where there are widespread outages. for storm tips and updates visit www.entergy.com/stormcenter.
storm restoration process
following the tropical storm impact, we are deploying scouts to assess damage. our scouts are working as quickly and safely as possible in sometimes very dangerous conditions as hurricane laura moves through the state. as damages are assessed, we will communicate with you the conditions found along with an estimated restoration time and our progress toward restoring your power. we can begin restoring service to customers by closing circuit breakers, rerouting power and other means. as we continue to assess damages, we are restoring service where it is deemed safe to do so. we ask for your patience, and please know restoring your power safely and quickly is our top priority.
