Entergy Mississippi storm update – 5/27/25, 12:30 p.m.
05/27/2025
JACKSON, Miss. – Entergy Mississippi continues to make progress in restoring power as multiple rounds of thunderstorms with heavy rains, high winds, and lightning moved through the Entergy Mississippi service territory beginning Saturday and continue throughout the day today. Each wave of weather has brought new outages, with some occurring in the same areas that had already been affected by earlier storms.
As of 12:30 p.m., approximately 5,400 customers are without power as a result of the weather impacts across our service territory. We encourage customers to be prepared, as additional severe weather is expected to continue to move through our service area this week.
Approximately 1,000 Entergy crew resources and contractors including linemen, damage assessors, vegetation workers and support personnel are working to provide restoration for these customer outages.
Damage assessment is 93% complete. So far damage has been found to more than 70 poles, 30 transformers, 50 cross arms and more than 18 miles of downed wire. With ongoing assessments and additional weather impact, some outages will extend beyond today, particularly in the more severely and or newly impacted areas. As we continue to identify damaged equipment, restoration times will be updated on the outage map at www.entergy.com/view-outages. These estimates are also subject to change as possible additional weather impacts occur in some areas.
Entergy Mississippi reminds customers that if they live in a neighborhood that has had power restored but don’t have power at their home, they likely have electrical damage. If a customer is without power, they should check for damage to the electrical equipment attached to their home or business and contact an electrician to make repairs. For information about a home’s electrical equipment, visit www.entergynewsroom.com/storm-center/weatherhead/.
If electric equipment appears undamaged, text OUT to 36778 or call 1-800-9OUTAGE (800-968-
Entergy Mississippi begins restoring power to customers as safely and quickly as possible after a storm passes. Our crews, along with mutual assistance contractors, will continue working around the clock until all power is restored. To support the safety of our workforce and avoid fatigue, individuals should not work more than 16 hours in a 24-hour period and should never work more than 13 days in a row without a 24-hour rest period. This allows our restoration crews to get adequate rest and safely restore power when working.
Here’s how you can stay up to date on our restoration efforts:
- Download the Entergy app. Customers can use the app to report outages or check on the status of power at their home or business.
- Check Entergy’s View Outages map. Maps show where outages are located and give information about restoration progress.
