Power Outages Expected to Extend Beyond Sunday for MLGW Customers

Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) has restored 14,000 outages out of the 24,000 reported since Tuesday's severe storm, but an additional storm on Friday caused another 60,000 customers to lose power, leaving approximately 70,000 without power. MLGW crews are prioritizing outages that will restore power to the most customers quickly, but some customers may remain without power past Sunday. MLGW urges customers to report emergencies, stay away from downed powerlines, and provides safety reminders and tips.
