Ice storms put real strain on the grid. As ice builds up, added weight on trees and power lines increases the chance of broken limbs and downed lines that lead to outages. Always stay clear of downed lines and report them immediately.
We’re gearing up for severe weather by tracking forecasts, staging crews and materials, standing up 22 basecamps across the Carolinas, and readying specialized equipment and drones to support restoration. Make sure you're prepared for #WinterStormFern. https://t.co/eyvDHdTL2t.
Ice is the big threat with #WinterStormFern. Buildup of a quarter inch can bring trees and branches onto power lines. A half inch or more can pull down the lines themselves. Crews from 27 states and Canada are staged across the Carolinas to respond. https://t.co/ZnxNI4tkBi.
As Winter Storm Fern approaches, make sure your emergency kit is ready. Essentials include food, water, batteries, flashlights and a battery‑powered radio. If you experience a power outage, you can report it in the Duke Energy app, online or by texting OUT to 57801.
