Thousands of Entergy customers in Little Rock were without power after strong storms moved through Friday afternoon.

More than 3,000 of those outages were in Little Rock at that time, including large pockets along and south of Markham Street west of Interstate 430 and north of Rodney Parham Road east of I-430.
Entergy said it was aiming to have power fully restored by 10 p.m., though it said in a statement that that time could change "as all damage assessments are completed or if new thunderstorms move into the area."
