Entergy Arkansas says it has restored power to all but 57-hundred customers this morning.
Spokesman Dan Daugherty said the company will have all but the most remote customers back online by midnight tonight. There were as many as 33-thousand customers without power Wednesday night as storms hit central and sourthern Arkansas.
Daugherty said crews are working around the clock in remote areas, but some circuits with just one or two customers may not be back on until the weekend.
The Magnolia-Stephens-Stamps area is still the hardest hit, with nearly Four-thousand outages. Nearly a thousand are still out in the Glenwood-Mount Ida area west of Hot Springs. The Arkadelphia area was down to 300 outages and Daugherty said crews were wrapping up there this morning. Another 400 are without power in the El
Dorado area.
