Memphis could get up to six inches of rain and heavy winds as the remnants of Hurricane Ida move through the Mid-South Monday.
The rainfall and winds are expected to begin at 3 p.m. Monday and last through the evening, according to the Memphis National Weather Service.
Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) said its crews are prepared to respond to any damage and outages. However, the utility said that restoration times may be longer due to Covid-19 safety measures.
MLGW also advises the public to avoid contact with downed power lines as the lines could still be active. To report an emergency such as downed wires or gas leaks, call 901-528-4465. For outage reporting, call 901-544-6500.
