Customers also asked to prepare

Memphis Light, Gas and Water crews are prepared to handle any outages caused by thunderstorms, damaging winds and a possible tornado headed to the Mid-South.

Customers can also prepare. In an emergency situation, whether it's a tornado, ice storm, earthquake or flood, customers need to be prepared for the possibility of temporary power outages. For safety reasons, customers should know where the gas and water shutoff valves are located, how to identify the main electric service panel and how to turn them off in the event of an emergency.
