Utilities are warning that lights in the Carolinas may go out for the second time in a month, thanks to Hurricane Michael.
Duke Energy Corp. said Michael may trigger outages, some lasting for several days, in North Carolina and South Carolina. In Florida, the Charlotte-based company is warning that as many as 200,000 customers in the panhandle could lose power, potentially for “multiple days to over a week,” according to a statement Tuesday.
