According to Duke Energy’s website, about 2,700 people don’t have power in Wake County.

It’s unclear at this time when power will be restored.

Thousands of out-of-state electrical workers came to North Carolina to assist amid Hurricane Dorian — 1,500 linemen from Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Michigan are stationed at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek, and another 600 out-of-state electrical workers are stationed at Five County Stadium in Zebulon, home to the Carolina Mudcats.

In total, about 9,000 electric workers are spread out across the state.
