LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) – Some homeowners in central Arkansas were in the dark on Thursday as the cold temperatures began putting extra strain on power lines.

Entergy officials say at this point, just a few dozen customers remain in the dark.

According to Senior Communications Specialist Sally Graham, the company had 6,227 customers without power as of 8:54 a.m. She added that the number fluctuated throughout the day as most of the outages can be contributed to the cold weather.

Graham said several things could cause an outage throughout the day. One of them being power lines sagging down due to the cold and contacting neutral lines. Another could be fuses burning out.

After a night of temperatures in the teens, Pete Kaufman spent the morning shivering in his home.

"We woke up at 5 and that was the first time we noticed that power went out."
