Power outages stretch across the Mid-South during winter weather

As of 10:45 p.m. Thursday, MLGW said it had nearly 4,255 without power, and Entergy Mississippi reported about 8,100 without power.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Ice Storm Warning has been canceled for Memphis, but many are still dealing with the after-effects of downed tree limbs and power lines, and power outages throughout the Mid-South.

MLGW

After being at nearly 19,000 customers without power about 10:30 a.m. Thursday, MLGW reported almost 4,255 customers without power as of 10:40 p.m. The utility said crews are working, but “power restoration time depends on the cause of the outage, the number of components damaged, whether or not tree trimming is required to get to the point of repair, and number of customers impacted.”

Customers should avoid contact with downed power lines even if their home or area has experienced a loss of power because the lines could still be energized.
