Utility crews continued work Sunday to restore power to about 80,000 customers who were remaining without power after a freezing rain event that toppled trees and power lines in counties along the Virginia border and in the Triad area.
“Utility workers are out in force, working to get everyone’s power restored as quickly as possible,” said Governor Roy Cooper.
Power outages peaked late Saturday morning with about 194,000 customers without power statewide, and the situation has been improving quickly since then.
