severe thunderstorms with heavy rain, lightning and high winds causing debris, moved through the state on april 30 resulting in a peak of 21,000 customer outages. entergy arkansas crews made significant restoration progress overnight as lineworkers assessed damage and immediately got to work restoring 78 percent of customers in the first 12 hours. currently, approximately 4,641 customers remain without power. as we work to restore power, we are also monitoring the weather forecast for additional storms entering our service territory this afternoon and friday.

damage assessment is still underway in the hardest impacted areas. as we continue to identify damaged equipment, restoration times will be updated accordingly. the majority of customers who lost power should be restored tonight. another round of severe weather could occur, which could cause additional outages or slow restoration progress. for more information about our restoration process, please visit our website.

our crews plan and train for storm readiness year-round, which aides us in restoring power as safely and quickly as possible. we have secured and are shifting resources and special equipment to assist with restoration efforts in the most impacted areas.

we want to remind you that travel may be hazardous due to local spectators and road debris. if you must travel, please exercise caution and stay informed on local weather updates.

restoration times

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.
