Yes, Michael has left its mark on North Carolina, though thankfully not in the same places as Florence left its mark.
Thousands of trees down in NC today and hundreds of thousands without power. One death. Western NC was especially hard hit. Over 100 roads closed, many in the mountains of NC.
I am in central NC (near Raleigh). I did not lose power today but heard transformers “blow” several times and had flickering lights and a message from Duke Energy that over 200 residents in my area had lost power. And that is just one small potato.
Several reporters from local station WRAL just barely missed being hit by trees coming down near them as they were out reporting on the damage.
It seems to be finally over. SO GLAD and heartfelt sorrows for those in Florida who lost so much!
Thanks for your local report.
