GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) – The Greenville Utilities Commission says a blown fuse is behind the power outages affecting parts of the city.

More than 500 outages have been confirmed, mainly in the Lake Elsworth and Allen Road area.

Power is expected to be restored by 11:00 p.m. tonight.

This comes as eastern Carolina is under a heat advisory for the week.
