CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Nearly 4,000 Duke Energy customers have power again following an outage Saturday morning.
According to Duke Energy's outage map, the outage was first reported around 10:30 a.m. in the area near E. Arrowood Road and Nations Ford Road with around 3,900 customers without power.
As of 1:05 p.m., power had been restored for all customers in the affected area.
The Charlotte area was impacted by storms this morning, and strong winds are expected to impact the area later on Saturday.
These types of winds will bring down some branches and trees, which then could result in scattered power outages.
Also, items like tents, trampolines, and other temporary structures must be secured very well or taken down to avoid being blown away. Also, due to the dry air behind the front combined with the wind, the fire danger will be very high heading into Saturday afternoon and early Sunday.
