Severe thunderstorms have swept across the Mid-South, resulting in widespread damage and power outages for over 128,000 residents, particularly in Memphis. Strong winds reaching up to 70 mph have led to a Severe Thunderstorm Watch being issued until 10 pm, with officials warning of damaging winds likely on Saturday. The Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) has advised that power may not be restored until Thursday for many affected customers. As additional storms are expected, the National Weather Service is urging residents to report any storm-related incidents and is monitoring the situation for a potential second round of severe weather.
