Power has been restored to Centennial Campus, and there are no other on-campus power outages, according to Sergeant Frank Brinkley of the Campus Police Department.
Fire alarms on campus went off during the storm because rainwater seeped through roofs, Brinkley said. Some limbs were reported to have fallen around campus, but no major damage has been reported thus far.
“N.C. State was very lucky compared with the damage across [Raleigh],” Brinkley said.
No injuries were reported to Campus Police.
46,000 to 47,000 Progress Energy customers remain without power across the state, half of which are in Wake County, according to Mike Hughes, a Progress Energy spokesman.
The “vast majority” of those outages will be repaired by midnight Monday, and the rest will be repaired Tuesday, Hughes said. Progress Energy currently has 1,000 workers in the field attempting to make repairs.
Progress Energy did not have information in enough detail to comment on outages on N.C. State’s campus.
