UPDATE:
As of 12:34 a.m., there was a power outage on Western Boulevard from Dan Allen Drive to Avent Ferry Road that also included Jordan Hall.
According to Dennis Lockard, a spokesperson for Progress Energy, two feeders are broken, but they are not sure of the exact cause.
This outage has left 1,600 customers out of power. Progress Energy is expecting the outage to be fixed by 2:15 a.m., at the latest.
A call to the Campus Police hotline revealed Progress Energy provides power to the campus and that this has happened several times tonight.
The outages are reportedly caused by electrical wires touching.
“They didn’t realize that that was issue the first time,” the Campus Police hotline said.
Power should be reported soon though.
“The first time it took them about 45 minutes to fix the power,” the Campus Police hotline said. “It shouldn’t be that much longer though.”
