Power has been restored to Frisco, Hatteras village, and Ocracoke Island after a Friday morning outage that affected the southern Outer Banks, per an update from the Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative.

The outage was reported at 6:05 a.m. on Friday and was due to a downed wire near the Hatteras Civic Center that caused a pole fire. The Hatteras Volunteer Fire Department and Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative (CHEC)  responded to the incident.
