outages in mecklenburg county. haven't seen any crews out this morning. i'm here at mountain brook neighborhood, right in between sharonview road and carmel road, where a lot of the power outages still are in mecklenburg county, 300 power outages. show you a picture of what exactly we're looking at out here, a lot of the homes i drove by were in darkness, patches in the neighborhood without power. i spoke to a woman her power the afternoon. she said duke energy crews told her it would be restored here at 11:00 tonight. so if that is true the power gets restored at 11:00 tonight, that is 56 hours without power for some of the people here in south charlotte. i want to show you another picture, this is the picture of the outages across mecklenburg county. we actually have 847 customers
