First time homeowner here and in need of guidance. Found small whole in kitchen ceiling after Helene. Who do I contact? I’ve been waiting because I know there are people with far greater damage however I don’t want to wait too long to address the damage. I appreciate your advice in advance.

Any locations where there is a drop off site?

Did any other Duke Power customers receive the text alert that their power will not be restored until Sunday (Friday originally)?

I'm secretly hoping that this is a blanket announcement and that there may still be hope for restoration in my area (East side) before then!

I live just past the Library and Post Office heading south on Church Street, retired, in a wheelchair, and limited with travel. Does anyone know any places open close enough I can get to?

Does anyone know what is going on with Woodland Heights power? I know the tree damage was pretty extensive in that neighborhood, but the power is still out and I'm hearing from other sources that Duke Energy hasn't been in the neighborhood?

Any information would be appreciated.

Anyone around Duncan park have power? It’s so dark over here 😳 saw crews working today by the lake, hopeful it’s coming soon!!

Woooh! Got a note today the southern end of the county has the substations back online (LEC). They will be working late today and through the weekend to restore power will a target of Monday 8am.

If you are tempted to buy into this as a means of mutual relief please do not. I can guarantee you this is 100% fake and funds will not be distributed as they are advertising (I worked for this company for multiple years). They just need a cash infusion because restaurants have been closed. This company totally does not care about their employees and is pretty shady financially

This time last year there was frost on my grass and it was sweater weather, not sweating weather 🥲

For anybody cooking outside on a gas grill, they had whole pallet when I went. Three for $17

I’ve seen several posts about Spectrum but none about AT&T. Anyone have power that has AT&T internet? I’m working remotely in Georgia and I never received any notification of an internet outage. My house is in North Spartanburg.

Hi, I am in Boiling Springs with Inman address. My power is still out as of Thursday morning. Wondering if there are any locations with wifi/internet service? I work remotely out of Atlanta, GA and REALLY need to work.

8350 Hwy 9 Inman

Not sure if anyone remembers, I’m just checking in to update so people in the surrounding areas may get a better idea of when their own power might be coming back on. I am over in the Reidville Crossing subdivision and we regained power around 3:50 pm yesterday. No wifi as of writing this post but extraordinarily grateful to have our electricity back. Sending prayers and hope for good news yalls way💛

I have a metric boatload of trees and stuff on my property but I live on a cul de sac and have maybe 15 feet of street frontage. I could line my whole street with piles of cypress branches.

If I pile brush up along my driveway where it's obviouspy visible from the road, do you think the debris cleanup contractors will still get it?

I'm a relatively new homeowner and I've never dealt with anything like this before. I don't know what kind of equipment they're going to bring

This is the active list of closings for Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System.

Be safe everyone!

Three Laurens Electric trucks came down Old Canaan Road about two hours ago.. a pickup and two service trucks. The guy in the pickup was stopped in the road and my nosey neighbor went up to him to talk. He asked him if they really think it will be next Monday when power is restored. The LEC guy just shook his head and said "More like a month." I really hope he was just aggravated that he was being interrupted, but if not, that's pretty bad news.

Anyone else heard anything similar?

edit: we got to sparanburg safe and back up to avl safe! thank you all for the tips

my boyfriend and i are driving down from asheville to get supplies from my family who are meeting us there. we would like to see if we could potentially make a walmart/other grocery store run. we'll be near east main street. we are not familiar with the area.

what is power like on east main street? could we stop by walmart for cashback and clothes? anywhere we should avoid? we understand gas is limited, wont be attempting to get any. we have a route figured out already.

thank you guys for any insight, i hope everyone is staying safe. we've been very isolated and have limited service/connection. i hope you all have a good night.

I just went to Walmart, and there were almost no frozen goods, and Ingles is only taking cash. Any places around with a reasonable stock, or should I just suck it up and wait in the line at Publix, hoping they have what I need?

Very limited quantity, one per car until they run out. This is legit I promise.

Update: restaurant is closed

My job and school is still without power and I’m bored. Are there any places looking for volunteers to help out after Helene?

I regularly drive down rural roads to deliver pts home from the hospital. This weekend I travelled in areas that I KNOW rescue services hasn't made it to, yet had at least one lane clear to travel through. Passed by one fellow working on branches with just a handsaw. Yall are what makes community.

That being said, if a tree has a line entangled in any way, seriously don't mess with it. Even if you have a voltmeter, they can come live at any moment with no warning. I'd like yall to keep doing your wonderful work as long as possible, and not in the back of my ambulance.

Anyone know the status of the Dexter Rd center? Are they open yet? Any others open? Don't really want to drive to Wellford.

W are temporarily relocating to Spartanburg after the hurricane went through Asheville. anyone know of legit daycare centers open who are taking new kids? we need full-time for at least a month or two. thanks!

Does anyone know if they're open yet? I know places on Dexter road have power, our roommate works at the humane society and they have partial power, but I can't find anything saying if the dump is open.

We desperately need to take trash off, and clean the nasty food out of the fridge and everything, but I won't be one of the assholes who just threw their trash in piles in front of the fence for others to clean up. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Also, if anyone knows where my wife and I could go to get a hot shower, we would GREATLY appreciate it. We've been having to take super quick freezing cold showers since this started, and its getting really miserable. Idk if I can make it that way til Friday. 🤦🏻‍♀️ LOL

I need to charge my laptop to work from home for an hour or two today but have no power.

Have yall found anywhere I can pop in my charger and sit with my laptop for a few minutes?

I don’t want to leave unless I have to and don’t want to cause more stress on the roads. I’m wondering if Costco and Sam’s is open near WestGate.
