Originally, Duke Energy’s power outage map showed just under 900 customers without power.
However, by 6 a.m., that number had been reduced to less than 70 customers without power.
The estimated time of restoration isn’t expected until around 6 p.m., according to Duke Energy.
Channel 9 is currently at the scene as crews continue to work on repairing the power pole.
