entergy mississippi hurricane delta restoration update – 10/10/20 @ 12:30 p.m.
10/10/2020
the remnants of hurricane delta caused widespread power outages throughout the entergy mississippi service territory. thunderstorms, heavy rains and high winds will continue to impact our customers throughout the day saturday. as of noon, about 40,000 customers are without power. we are working to respond to outages safely, while practicing social distancing measures needed during the covid-19 pandemic.
despite its weakening, delta is still producing damaging wind gusts, heavy rainfall, and a risk of isolated tornadoes. we can’t use our bucket trucks until sustained winds are less than 30 mph, but we can still begin restoring service to customers by closing circuit breakers, rerouting power and other actions. our crews are working to restore power where it is safe to do so.
please continue to respect our utility workers by providing them with the space needed to complete restoration work as we consider the extra measures that are being taken to prevent the spread of covid-19.
due to the additional measures the crews must take, restoration may take longer, especially where there are widespread outages. additionally, crews will continue to practice social distancing and we ask that customers do the same. for their safety and yours, please stay away from work zones. if you need to report a problem with your service or get bill payment help, we’re just a phone call away: 1-800-entergy.

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.
- 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.
