Fallen Tree Causes Power Outage In East Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A fallen tree on Wilora Lake Road knocked out power to several homes, and closed the street all day on Saturday.

CMPD and Duke Energy are on the scene but neighborhood residents say no attempt to remove the tree have been made.

The tree fall, which is believed to have been caused by rotting, caused a vehicle to explode and catch on fire.

Power is not expected to be returned until Sunday.
