LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Nearly 13,000 homes and businesses are without electricity after severe storms pummeled parts of Arkansas.

Entergy Arkansas reported just under 13,000 outages Sunday night after storms swept through central Arkansas. More than half of the outages were reported in Faulkner County, where a suspected tornado hit Mayflower and Vilonia.

The utility reported more than 7,000 outages in Faulkner County, about 2,200 outages in Pulaski County and 1,400 outages in Pope County, with scattered outages reported elsewhere in Arkansas.



Entergy Arkansas says crews are prepared to restore electricity as quickly as possible. The utility urged residents to avoid downed power lines.
