WILSON, N.C. (WITN) -City of Wilson officials are assessing damage following a storm early Friday morning which brought down multiple power lines.
Officials say the biggest area of concern is Forest Hills Road where several poles and lines are down.
According to a social media post, the NCDOT is setting up a detour at NC42 and Airport Road to avoid the intersection of Forest Hills and Tarboro.
Officials warn this could be a multi-day restoration effort as crews work as quickly and safely as possible.
They’re reminding people never to go near fallen power lines, always assuming they’re energized.
