jackson, miss. – entergy mississippi has successfully restored power to all customers whose homes and businesses could safely take electricity following hurricane francine. crews worked as quickly and safely as possible to restore power to more than 11,000 customers who lost power after the storm moved through the state.
damage assessment identified damages to 34 poles, 14 transformers, 13 cross arms, and nearly 7 miles of downed wire.
a workforce of more than 1,500 linemen, vegetation workers, damage assessors and support personnel worked diligently throughout the restoration process. crews have now been released to assist entergy louisiana and entergy new orleans teams where needed.
