More than 250 homes and businesses are in the dark in West Lincoln, due to the band of severe weather moving through.
As of 4:30 p.m. Monday, 258 customers of Magnolia Electric Power (1.33 percent of MEP’s total customers in the county) had reported outages. No customers of Entergy, Southern Pine Electric, or Southwest Mississippi EPA were without power at that time.
Since 3 p.m., power had been restored to 120 additional customers in the area. MEP had no estimated time for power restoration for the additional meters.
