Thousands of Arkansans lost electricity due to the most recent string of severe weather.
As of midnight last night, 14,000 customers were in the dark.
We talked to Entergy officials, and they are reporting about 6,800 Arkansans are still without power.
Roughly 3,000 of those are in Stuttgart, and it could be a while before the lights come back on because of damage in the area. Also, this afternoon's high winds are making it difficult for bucket crews to do their jobs.
More than 400 poles were knocked down in the storms.
Entergy says those living outside Stuttgart will likely have power back by Monday, but in the hardest hit areas, it could be several days before electricity is restored.
