Duke Energy currently has 50,000 remaining outages in the Carolinas after a winter storm affected customers over the past few days.

The first major storm of the winter drifted into the Carolinas under the cover of darkness early today with the potential of robbing the area of roadway passability, business productivity and vital electricity.
