"A tree fell, which broke the top of the pole and the conductor," said an Entergy communications representative. "Our crews worked through the night to make repairs and power has been restored."

City crews completed repairs where the tree fell on the line. High winds played a role in the citywide power outage, according to a post from the City of Jasper.
