Monroe County Cooling Stations: Friday, Saturday
Monroe County’s emergency management agency has announced the locations of eight cooling stations, set up in area fire stations, with hours on Friday (June 30) and Saturday (July 1) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The move comes after a storm packing high winds moved through the area around 4 p.m. on Thursday (June 29) and knocked out power to around 25,000 Duke Energy customers in Monroe County.
By around noon on Friday, the number is down to around 13,000 Monroe County customers who are without power, according to a Duke Energy news release.
Not available at the cooling stations are food, showers, or areas for sleep.
According to Monroe County emergency management, the weather and power outages will be monitored to determine if the dates for the cooling centers need to be extended.
