Fewer than 400 Triangle residents still don’t have power. Here’s when to expect repairs.
Fewer than 400 households still lacked power Sunday night as a result of damage caused by the post-tropical remnants of Hurricane Ian that passed through Friday.
A Duke Energy outage map showed the following outages at 9 p.m. Sunday:
▪ Wake County, 13 outages affecting 142 households
▪ Durham County, 4 outages affecting 8 households
▪ Chatham County, 3 outages affecting 3 households
▪ Orange County, 7 outages affecting 223 households
▪ Johnston County, 2 outages affecting 2 households
According to the map, Duke expects to have most customers back online by midnight Sunday, but some in Wake County might not see their service restored until 6 p.m. Monday and some in Orange County by 7 p.m. Monday.
At one point Saturday, Duke reported that it had more than 7,000 outages affecting more than 300,000 customers in North and South Carolina.
By 9 p.m. Sunday, the N.C. Department of Transportation appeared to have cleared up weather-related road problems in the region.
Ian was a Category 4 hurricane when it made landfall on the west coast of Florida on Wednesday. It moved across Florida, went back over the Atlantic and made a second landfall near Georgetown, South Carolina, on Friday. It was a post-tropical cyclone as it made its way through North Carolina and traveled north.
