Blue Ridge Energy line technicians worked this past weekend to restore power to more than 6,300 members in northern Caldwell County after a fallen tree tore down a portion of the cooperative’s high voltage, major transmission lines.
Outages began at 10:25 a.m. Saturday (April 6). Power was fully restored by 3:31 a.m. Sunday. Caldwell County communities affected include Elk Creek, Kings Creek, Lenoir, and Patterson, as well as parts of Wilkes County.
