“Hurricane Florence is heading for North Carolina and Wake Electric employees will continue to closely monitor the storm,” Angela Perez, director of communications and public relations for the cooperative, said Monday.
The cooperative that serves the east side of Wake Forest and a large part of northern Wake County as well as six other counties is prepared to repair outages caused by wind, saturated ground from rain and other causes.
