Restoring power service to the Clemson campus

A spokesman for Duke Energy, Ryan Moser, quotes repairs crews as saying they believe they can have power service restored by the mid afternoon today to the Clemson campus. The repair workers are dealing with tricky terrain in the vicinity of the Botanical Garden, where the main line to the campus comes in. The culprits this morning were downed poles and a tree that took down wiring along the transmission line.
