There are nearly 2,000 line-workers staged at the Asheville Outlet Mall and this is out of 20,000 line-workers that are located across the Carolinas.
Bill Norton, a spokesperson with Duke Energy, told News 13 there are about 700 bucket trucks deployed, repairing the extensive damages caused by Hurricane Helene.
"The biggest challenge that we've had is that this has been a historic storm. We've never had one like this," Norton said. "We've never had this level of flooding. So, it's not just poles and wires that are down. It's the backbone of our system...the transmission infrastructure. So, we're repairing that first."
