Power outages drop after storm knocks power

— The number of power outages caused by a severe thunderstorm in central Arkansas is now below 1,000.

Entergy reported on its website Monday morning that about 900 customers remained without power following the Sunday afternoon storm.

Most of the outages are in southwest Little Rock where authorities say several trees were blown down by high winds of more than 60 miles per hour. About 14,000 customers were without power immediately after the storm.

The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning shortly before 5 p.m. Sunday as the storm approached the Little Rock area — but no twister was sighted.
