As of 8:30pm Tuesday, 485 has one lane open in each direction where it crosses 51 in Pineville. The ramps to exit onto 51 North (toward Park Road) are still blocked. From the highway, it looked like the whole center where Best Buy is (Centrum) is dark. The mall looked open but empty.
Arg so you are saying that tomorrow's commute will be ugly too. Dropping off at preschool today was really hellish The trip that takes 15 min normally took an hour, 20 minutes.

hehe, sorry to laugh but at first I read that your commute went from 15 minutes to 20 minutes.
It wasn't bad for me in Steele Creek but friends in Gaston county got hit hard. They have been told that power will be out until Thursday.
Some in Gaston could go days without electricity (http://www.gastongazette.com/news/gaston-56511-power-electricity.html - broken link)

Some Duke Energy customers in Gaston, Cleveland and Lincoln counties may be without electric power until 11 p.m. Thursday. York County, S.C., customers should have power restored by 11 p.m. Wednesday.
Two transmission towers in Gaston County fell down because of the storm winds, Walls said.
I saw that on the news. I'd never thought I'd live to see one of those towers fall. It reminded me of the Langoliers , or something along those lines.
