I wasn't able to attend, but my brother and dad were there, got this text from my dad during the outage:

"[Another Mentor] and I drove by the downed power pole over one hour after the car hit it and killed the electricity to the arena. There were two cops blocking traffic on either side and ZERO guys working on the problem. Welcome to Arkansas."

So props to the venue, Arkansas FIRST, and everyone that helped get everything running again, no props to the local officials

Sooooo... do you have any more information about this situation other than: somebody drove by and it didn't look like they were working on it? Any reason to think Entergy wasn't working diligently to get power back on ASAP?
The initial estimate to restore power announced at the event was "at least 3 hours", and it was back on in less than 4.

Comments that throw shade at an entire state, if said at all, belong in private text messages, not public forums.
