10,000 Still Without Power After North Carolina Storms
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — More than 10,000 North Carolinians are still without electricity following storms that sparked tornadoes earlier this week.
Duke Energy reported that nearly 11,000 customers were without service Thursday morning. The utility said the biggest problems were in Wilkes and Catawba counties.
States of emergency were in effect for parts of North Carolina working to recover from the storms.
Gov. Roy Cooper’s office said Wednesday the town of Marshall declared a state of emergency after authorities say a sewer line under the French Broad River may have broken.
The governor’s office also said local states of emergency are in place in Alexander, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Rutherford and Wilkes counties because of the storms. The declaration allows the communities to seek state or federal aid if needed.
