Crews have been working non-stop and through all kinds of conditions to get power restored.
That story is illustrated in this picture sent to Dave Jordan's facebook page.
We're told the picture was taken on VOA Road in Washington.

At the height of Irene nearly half-a-million people were without power in NC. Wednesday night that number is down to about 110,000.
