High winds knocking down trees and limbs on power lines are blamed for a power outage affecting 1,905 Entergy Customers in Warren County, Entergy customer representative Shelia McKinnis said.

She said the outages are scattered throughout the county, with 247 of them in the Freetown Road and Oak Ridge Road areas, where a large tree damaged five power poles on Freetown Road and took down lines.

According to Entergy’s power outage website, outages were also reported in several areas of Vicksburg.

High winds hitting the area about 1:30 p.m. were responsible for toppling a tree on Interstate 20, blocking both westbound lanes of the highway between Vicksburg and Bovina, and backing traffic past Bovina. While motorists were waiting for the Interstate to be cleared, another tree fell on an SUV and an 18-wheeler, according information from Mississippi Highway Patrol. No injuries were reported.
