Power outages reported in Roanoke, Bedford and Franklin counties
As rain continues to fall at noon, Appalachian Power is reporting outages around the region.
In Burnt Chimney, 1,988 customers are without power due to broken equipment, said spokesman John Shelpewich. In Bedford County 176 customers are without power and 70 in the Hunting Hills area have been without power in Roanoke County since early this morning.
Spokesman Jim Shepelwhich said it's tough to tell if the outages are weather related. But spotty outages continue across the Roanoke region.
Flooding could impact underground lines, but Shepelwich said he hasn't seen any indication of that yet.
