After Sunday night’s severe thunderstorms rolled through Drew County and much of Southeast Arkansas, over 5000 Entergy customers are still without electricity.
The National Weather Service has yet to confirm if these were straight line winds or possibly tornadic in nature.
Due to the number of damaged areas to the power grid, Entergy is unable to estimate probable restoration times at this point.
