Crews were out in full force all weekend slowly chipping away at the number of customers without power.
Officials told us Friday's storm knocked out service for three times the amount of customers as the storms from Tropical Storm Isaac.
We told you about a neighborhood in Saline County where people were growing weary after hours without electricity stretched to days.
We revisited them Monday and found Entergy crews had fixed the issue.
"Thank the Lord! Just relief... I think everybody went outside and clapped almost, because it was about time," said Matt Garner.
Entergy said additional crews from the Gulf area have been brought in to help the power company handle all the outages.
