Downed lines block Albemarle Road: "(By Steve Lyttle, slyttle@charlotteobserver.com) Albemarle Road is closed in both directions at midday Tuesday because of a downed tree and power lines, authorities say.
Charlotte fire Capt. Mark Basnight said the road is closed -- inbound and outbound -- in the 7800 block. That is at Mallard Drive, between Lawyers Road and Harrisburg Road in east Charlotte."
