A faulty connector was blamed for a power outage this morning for residents and businesses along parts of the Interstate 20 frontage roads and Indiana Avenue, Entergy spokesman Don Arnold said.

Arnold said 303 customers lost power at 7:20 a.m. Power was restored by 7:45 a.m.

In addition, power was reported out in Highland Subdivision off South Frontage Road and along North Frontage Road and Indiana Avenue from just after 6 a.m. until nearly 7:30.

No other outages were reported at midmorning, Arnold said.
