LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Duke Energy will shut the power off for roughly 1,200 customers in Charlestown Wednesday night to repair badly damaged cross arms on some power poles.

It'll happen between 11 p.m. Wednesday and 5 a.m. Thursday morning. A spokesperson for Duke said the work could be completed sooner.

The outage is happening overnight to avoid interrupting school.

Charlestown is opening the A&E Center on Water Street for anyone who needs shelter. The forecasted low will be near 30 degrees.

Duke said it's notifying impacted customers in an automated phone message.
