Several power outages were reported across parts of northeastern Arkansas after storms moved through the area late Wednesday and early Thursday.
As of 2:25 a.m. Thursday, multiple electric companies confirmed service interruptions in impacted communities across Region 8. Details on the number of affected customers or a timeline for restoration were not immediately provided.
Officials have urged residents experiencing power issues to report outages directly to their provider. Crews continue to work to restore electricity in areas where it remains unavailable.
Storm systems bringing heavy rain and occasional lightning strikes are common during summer months in Arkansas, often causing isolated but temporary outages. Authorities recommend staying indoors during such weather and avoiding downed power lines.
Updates on power restoration efforts are expected as providers assess damage and make progress in addressing outages.
