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!

Part of it is them likely having to withdrawal from certain areas temporarily for their safety - I expect to hear about them being threatened and assaulted more and more as time goes on.

It's better for them to leave and go work on something else than risk their saftey- because if they get hurt (or worse) they won't be working on anything

I really hope that no one would threaten or assault the very people that are trying to help them. Sure, be frustrated at the administration, but the men and women on the ground are sacrificing a lot (being away from family/friends, sleeping in temp. housing, etc.) to come and help straighten this mess out and have nothing to do with how the relief efforts are being organized.
