From Haywood EMC:

As of 11:00 this morning, Thursday, February 18, Haywood EMC has 670 members without power, mostly in Haywood County. Crews continue working to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. However, due to seven broken power poles with some inaccessible by vehicle, we do not expect full power restoration before 5:00 p.m. tomorrow, Friday, February 19. Therefore members should make plans for the possibility of being without power through tonight.
