A tree fell on a power line located on Old Catawba Road.

Tree on Power Line - Claremont, NC

Our power went out around 9 PM during the wind storm. My husband drove up the road to see what had caused it to go out. he said the sky was lit up with strange flashes near the top of our road. There was tree on a power line on the next road and smoke was everywhere. We could smell a very strong burning smell. Finally a power crew arrived at about 1 AM and had our power on by 1:30 AM.
