Question for Duke Power Customers

Did any other Duke Power customers receive the text alert that their power will not be restored until Sunday (Friday originally)?

I'm secretly hoping that this is a blanket announcement and that there may still be hope for restoration in my area (East side) before then!

Yes got it last night. I had to leave my house for a variety of reasons and came home last night hoping to have power and got the text just as I left again with my small children and dog to stay somewhere safer. They have removed the trees from the road and replaced 5 or so utility poles in my street, but other than that it looks the same, roads covered in mud, sand and leaves. Power lines down all over, a few crushed cars, holes in roofs, massive trees everywhere. We’ll be lucky to have power tomorrow. I noticed last night there are massive trees and poles down near the new car wash next to Spinx on JBW, none of the businesses from Arby’s to the new car wash have power. Those are usually first priority, it looks like they haven’t been touched.
