Power restored to lakefront neighborhood

The sun that shines today belies what kind of a night it was for many Oconee County residents who lost electric power service during the late afternoon storm. In one Lake Keowee neighborhood, Duke Energy crews at 10:20 this morning restored service to about 16 homes on Lakeside Drive. The problem there started at 5:30 last evening when a large tree fell across power and cable lines, making Lakeside Drive impassable for more than four hours.
