Power back on for many customers in Durham, Wake and other counties after trees fall on power lines

Monday, July 1, 2024
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Electricity has been restored to most customers across multiple counties in central North Carolina.

Duke Energy workers spent the morning on Lakeview Drive clearing trees that fell on some power lines causing dozens to lose power.

According to the Duke Energy outage map, only a few dozen homes lost power in that area because of it.

Sunday night storms led to downed trees that fell or power lines

The peak of the outages was around 5:30 p.m., according to a Duke Energy map. The map now shows most across the Triangle should have their power back on.



The severe weather also caused troubles at Raleigh-Durham International Airport. There are only a handful of delays and cancellations on Monday morning compared to the hundreds of flights on Sunday.

This comes as Independence Day approaches. Airports across the country are dealing with a record number of travelers.
