Alcorn County Electric is saying the power outage could last multiple days for some of their members.

The outage, caused by widespread damage from a Saturday storm, caused a power outage to over 70,000 customers across north Mississippi.

From ACE:

Due to extensive damage throughout Corinth and Alcorn County, we expect to have members without power for multiple days. We have requested assistance from electric utilities from neighboring states to assist us with outage restoration efforts.

We appreciate those in the community working with us to clear debris. We thank you in advance for your patience as our crews work diligently to restore power.
