Thousands of people are without power Monday night in Durham.

According to Duke Energy, more than 9,900 people are without power as of 11:35 p.m. in the city.

This is the third outage the city has seen since Friday. On Friday, a car crashed into power poles near the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, knocking out power for hundreds and stalling traffic near the ball park for hours. A second outage was reported in the city on Saturday.

Strong storms rolled through much of central North Carolina on Monday, including in Durham.

It is unclear what caused Monday night’s outage.
