GREENSBORO, N.C. —
UPDATE: The outage has been fixed, and power has been restored, according to the Duke Energy outage map.
UPDATE: As of late Monday night, the outage has been reduced to just over 440 people. Duke Energy said the outage was caused by an object coming into contact with power lines.
