CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – More than 35,000 Duke Energy customers are without power across the Carolinas as Tropical Storm Debby makes it way up the east coast.
As of 4:30 a.m., Duke’s outage map shows the majority of outages are in the central and eastern parts of North Carolina, although there are about 7,000 customers without power in the Charlotte area.
Potential power outages were a significant concern ahead of Debby’s arrival, leading Duke to make preparations and strategically place linemen throughout both Carolinas and elsewhere in the southeast.

Along with inches of rain, Debby is also expected to bring wind gusts of up to 40 mph in Charlotte.
