MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - As temperatures climb to sweltering heights in the Mid-South, Memphis Light, Gas and Water is reporting thousands of power outages.
As of 11:27 a.m. Tuesday there are over 5,400 customers without power. Moments earlier at 11:20 a.m. the utility was reporting 8,400 outages.
MLGW says the outage in southeast Memphis is due to a downed pole after a crash at Riverdale Road and Starkenburg. Another large outage in Cordova is due to a circuit outage.
Crews are working quickly to restore power.
