Power outage in redfield AR on Jan 19, 2023. Tech keeps saying they don't know why or where the issue is. Last week the Entergy ppl cut down a tree and took out the power. Honestly sick of losing power because workers don't think before they cut stuff down. If they cut branches back yearly instead of just when it causes an issue then this wouldn't happen as much
