There was only some minor damage at the Wilmington International Airport (ILM), Julie Wilsey, airport director, said in an email Tuesday.
“I’m happy to report that the ILM Staff did an outstanding job preparing for the storm,” Wilsey said. “We maintained line power except for the airfield lighting, and it ran on back-up generator last night."
Airlines returned to normal operations around 8 a.m. Tuesday, Wilsey said. And construction crews with Montieth Construction, which is working on the last phase of ILM's $61 million terminal expansion project, were back on the job Tuesday as well, she added.
For Duke Energy, reinforcements were arriving throughout the day Tuesday, Brooks said.
As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, crews were being spread across different hotels, as well as other precautions being taken to ensure the safety of Duke Energy employees as they work on natural disaster response, he said.
Much work has been undertaken by Duke Energy since March to prepare for a response that took COVID-19 into account, he said.
"This is a different time; this is a pandemic time. And so there are some challenges to that work, " Brooks said. "We have to be very deliberate how we move crews into town in smaller groups, avoiding very large staging sites like you might typically see in a major hurricane. We have some staging sites, but they maybe not as large as they have been in the past ... We don't anticipate that that's going to cause us any significant delays in response. We still are making great progress. But it's just sort of the new reality that we live in and one that we have to think about when we plan our storm response."
