Wind gusts of 65 to 80 miles per hour caused broken poles, trees in power lines, and damage to electric infrastructure. In addition, flooding is also impacting crews’ ability to restore power in some areas.
“We are bringing in additional crews to supplement our statewide workforce and speed power restoration,” said Clint Carnahan, general manager of emergency preparedness at Duke Energy. “Our priority is always to restore service as quickly and safely as possible, and we appreciate our customers’ patience while we respond.”
