CHARLOTTE, N.C. — People in both Carolinas were without power on Sunday night near Lake Wylie.
Around 16,000 customers experienced outages on Sunday, according to the Duke Energy outage map.
The outages were first reported at 10:09 p.m., according to Duke Energy, and range from as south as Tega Cay, South Carolina up to the Steele Creek area of Charlotte.
Duke Energy has not stated the cause of the outages. As of 12 a.m., Duke Energy was able to restore most of the outages. However, over 1,000 customers remain without power in a neighborhood around Grand Palasides Parkway just east of Lake Wylie.
Power was restored in the area as of 5 a.m. Monday, according to officials.
