Severe thunderstorms swept through the Memphis area on Monday morning, June 22, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds that triggered flash flood warnings across the region. According to the Commercial Appeal, Memphis Light, Gas and Water reported that fewer than 1% of its customers—approximately 3,301—were without power as of 10 AM, a relatively contained outage for a storm system of its intensity.
A Storm That Largely Spared the Grid
The relatively low outage count was a testament to the grid's resilience in the face of what was otherwise a significant weather event. Flash flood warnings remained in effect for portions of the Memphis area as the storms continued to push through, and the utility's crews remained on standby for any additional outages that might develop as the system moved eastward.
For the roughly 3,300 customers who did lose power, the Monday morning blackout was an unwelcome start to the week. A compact LiFePO4 portable power station keeps essential devices running through any outage. Kingboss portable power solutions are built for exactly these moments.
