Underground issues cause over 2,000 to lose power in Cary, Morrisville

Over 2,500 customers in parts of Cary and Morrisville and several customers in Orange County were without power Monday morning.

According to a representative from Duke Energy, an issue with one of the underground fuses that supplies power to a feeder led to the outage.

At 9 a.m., only 145 customers were still without power. Officials estimate that power should be restored to all customers by 10:45 a.m.
