Power Outages and Hazardous Road Conditions Hit Tupelo

Widespread power outages are affecting Tupelo, with many traffic signals out of service, according to local authorities. All intersections with non-functioning signals are to be treated as four-way stops.

Road conditions remain hazardous, and uncontrolled intersections increase the risk of serious crashes, officials warn. For safety reasons, residents are advised to avoid travel unless necessary.

The Tupelo Police Department is responding only to emergency calls. Officers will not respond to non-emergency incidents or minor traffic crashes. Authorities urge residents to exercise extreme caution if travel is unavoidable and to keep 911 available for genuine emergencies.
