Debris from rain and wind cover Oconee roads

Many sections of rural Oconee roads are covered this morning with debris from a night of wind and steady rain.  Motorists on some roads north of Walhalla are liable to encounter the occasional downed tree and blocked roads as crews work to clear what has fallen.  Road puddles are practically everywhere so everyone behind the wheel should ease up on the gas pedal to ensure that they and others remain safe.
