Paul do y’all have power. We were cutoff around 6:37 this morning and are being told that it will be restored around 9.45am. Wral is reporting rolling blackouts. The only power in town appears to be at the jail/courthouse and the hospital area.

Yes, we have power.  Internet, phone and cable is out.  Fortunately I have a hot spot on my phone.

Fortunately, we never lost power.  Perhaps its because we're on Tri-County???  My son lives on the other side of Rosewood and has no power.  He's on Duke power.

We lost everything but power, thank God.  Its was zero this morning and had the power been off there'd have been slot of folks with frozen/broken pipes this morning.
 Just got internet back half an hour ago but still no phone.
 
 There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

Just wait till EVERYONE has an electric vehicle! Be nice if the idiot's built a few more nuclear power plants before tossing everyone over into the electric vehicle crap but why do that? If every vehicle in the US were magicly turned to a EV today, it would take 400 years to make batteries for them |  |  |

Duke energy turned our Power back on at 10:52. I’m expecting it to get turned off again in the wee hours of the morning.

The Charlotte newspaper is reporting that Duke has ended the rolling blackouts.
