Hurricane Dorian gone, but SC coast power outages leave many in dark

Some utility companies can't say for sure when power will be restored after thousands along South Carolina's coast were left in the dark from Hurricane Dorian, but the lights could be out for days.

The South Carolina Emergency Management Division reported close to 185,000 outages across the state by early Friday.

There were at least 250,000 statewide outages at its peak, said Derrec Becker, an Emergency Management spokesman. By comparison, there were about 800,000 total statewide outages from Hurricane Florence in 2018, he said.

There were 92,000 Dominion customers in South Carolina without power Friday morning including 70,000 customers in Charleston County.
