Duke Energy says 750,000 customers could lose power during winter storm
on January 15, 2022 at 6:07 pm
GREENVILLE, SC (FOX Carolina)- Duke Energy officials said many customers could lose power this weekend during the incoming winter storm. Officials said that around 750,000 customers in the Carolinas could lose power over the next few days. They added that customers in the storm's path should prepare for the possibility that power may be out for multiple days. According to officials, they have placed more than 10,000 workers around the area to prepare for the possibility of power outages. These workers include power line technicians, damage assessors and vegetation workers. These workers are traveling from Florida, Indiana, Ohio Kentucky, Texas and Oklahoma to help with the storm. Following the storm officials said crews will assess the damage and determine what is needed to restore power. This process can sometimes take up to 24 hours or more during major storms. Power restoration crews will start working immediately after the storm, and their efforts will become more effective as the damage is assessed. Officials said Duke Power will provide estimated restoration times to customers once the damage assessments are done. They will also update customers and communities through emails, text messages, outbound phone calls, social media and their website. Duke Energy serves 3.5 million customers in North Carolina and 800,000 in South Carolina.

Upstate teen helps find homes for refugees

GREENVILLE, SC (FOX Carolina) - Selah Impson says she initially had the goal of being a missionary who traveled to places like Afghanistan. But when the US pulled out, she says she went for the next best thing. “I initially thought I’d be helping move the stuff in, not actually finding the apartment," she told Fox Carolina. But the 8th grade student quickly found out that she was good at scouting out new forever homes. Using various websites and tools, she began to research floor plans and locations—to help place a family that her church, Eastside Presbyterian in Greenville, adopted. “I had to find a place that was within a certain amount of money," Impson explained. “Two bedrooms and one bathroom. A bus stop within walking distance, a school, grocery stores." Selah, and Eastside Presbyterian, are one of several groups acting as “communities of welcome" for these families. They are collecting donations: household items, gift cards, clothing, and more, to help get these evacuee families started in their new lives. The 14-year-old says that it’s important to her these people feel welcomed with open arms. “Where they’re coming from, they didn’t have as many freedoms as we do here right now," Impson said. Ministries Fox Carolina has spoken to say many of these refugees helped US troops in combat overseas while Afghanistan was occupied during the 20 year war. “They did help us, and now we should help them come here and start new lives," Impson said. “Many of them are being threatened." Now, Selah says those that assisted our military find themselves in a foreign country – and need the community's embrace. “The group at my church is going to help move it all in, bring them food and stuff, and just get used to the area," she said. Eastside Presbyterian Church is one arm of the larger umbrella of Lutheran Services of the Carolinas, who is working with lots of entities like the church to head up relocation efforts for these refugee families. They tell Fox Carolina that there are 104 individuals – or about 25 families – currently scheduled to arrive in the upstate from military bases across America in the coming weeks. The ministry says they need all the donations and help they can get, and if you want to donate, you should contact Lutheran Services directly. Their branch is located in downtown Greenville on Main Street at Trinity Lutheran Church.
Be safe but don’t forget to have fun with snow day

EASLEY, SC (FOX Carolina) - As the winter inches closer to the Carolinas, many people are getting prepared. I'm addition to buying bread and milk, and other groceries, sleds are a hot commodity. Over at Winslett’s Market in Easley, they’ve already sold out of them. “Brought the sleds out on Tuesday,” said Jamie Winslett, the market’s owner. “I guess it was yesterday morning about 12:00 that we had no sleds left at all.” We also spoke to a mom and daughter about their snow day plans. “Going to make some hot chocolate and soup, and make some snow angels if there’s some good snow out there I’m going drag her out there and have some fun with some snow balls fights,” said Mi-Cheria Moore. If you are unable to find a sled, then consider improvising. “You can’t find a sled, just improvise and get a piece of cardboard, or turn a trash can lid,” Winslett said.
