Lights out

Duke Power mapIf you're reading this right now you're probably not in downtown Chapel Hill or Carrboro. Almost 6,000 homes and business are curently without power, all the way from UNC to Estes Drive Extension (lights out at Sewell School Road). I heard on WCHL that UNC Hospitals are currently operating on generators. 

Duke Power reports 5,782 customers without power at the moment (about 9 am) and their map shows that the problem is localized to the Chapel Hill and Carrboro area.

I just got a robocall from Duke Energy to say that the power is back on at my house, but of course I'm not there to verify. How is it where others are?

It's been back on here for about twenty minutes. I've heard that it's still out in Carrboro, though.

We're a-OK at the Citizen offices in downtown C'boro.
