The rain, at least in Shelby, was bizarre on Tuesday afternoon. It started with the sun shining. As I was driving up U.S. 74, it was raining on one side of the road, but not the other. Some parking lots were getting rain. Others a few feet away didn't get anything. Then came the thunder. Duke Energy reported a couple areas of power outages. One area was located between Shelby and Fallston. A second area was between Patterson Springs and Earl, but closer to Patterson Springs. In total, there were 59 outages from Duke Energy in Cleveland County. It could have been worse. Chester County in South Carolina reported 1,165 outages on Tuesday. This all follows Monday's outages in the Grover area. There were more than 1,200 without power. Those have since been restored.
The infamous snake, of course, led to a large outage in Shelby on Saturday night.

Disasters, Hurricanes, Tornados, Wind Storms. We’ve all seen the after-effects, entire communities without power. I’ve read that on average 3.5 million people lose their power in the US each week! We just bought a generator from MainPowerConnect.com that now will ensure our family has the power needed when faced with these unexpected outages. With back-up power, our home now stays well lighted, secure, keeping our food cold and fresh and our air conditioning working. Our generator will also keep our sump pump working to protect the basement from flooding.
