(RALEIGH) -- Progress Energy crews have restored service to more than 330,000 customers since Hurricane Irene first began lashing the Carolinas on Friday. The company expects to restore service to the majority of remaining customers without power by midnight Tuesday, with 95 percent of restorations complete by midnight Wednesday. In the hardest-hit areas with the most severe damage, final repairs to customers able to receive power will likely continue into Thursday. This includes the areas around Zebulon, Selma, Spring Hope, New Bern, Jacksonville, Morehead City and Kinston.
