In what seemed like a repeat storm, the sky grew abnormally dark early Monday evening as it had done on Sunday.

Power was knocked out to more than 200 homes in Davidson on Sunday night, and another 60+ homes Monday evening.
Davidson areas affected Sunday included roughly 100 homes in and around Delburg Street and a similar number of homes near Mayes Road. The homes on the Duke interactive map Monday night were off Woodland and Eastway. There was no project repair time on Duke Energy’s site. Energy United also showed dozens of homes without power in and around Davidson on Monday night.

Damage across the state was more widespread after Monday night’s storms. More than 100,000 homes lost power as the band of strong storms swept across the state, starting in the late afternoon.
Sadly, while there were fewer power outages, there appeared to be more storm damage around town. Several large trees fell or lost large limbs.
A large limb crushed this bench on the Davidson College campus Monday evening.
