Though severe weather is not moving through Lincoln County, wind gusts are.
Whether that has led to outages of more than 100 meters in Brookhaven is uncertain, but likely. Brookhaven Fire Department was dispatched to an area on Hwy. 51 just south of Natchez Drive when a police officer saw a limb strike a power line, sending sparks down onto dry grass and sparking a small grass Fire.
Firefighters quickly extinguished it and Entergy had power restored in that area in a matter of minutes.
