2724 meters experiencing outages this morning.
Most of the outages are tree related. In Mt. Airy, a tree fell on a section of line crossing the railroad tracks and a train caught the line. Two poles were broken and three others were damaged. Those poles had to be replaced and railroad personnel onsite before the new line could cross the tracks. Power was restored in the affected area overnight.
