So far, a stormy summer

A second night of thunderstorms blew down several trees in the Westminster area.  And, so far, it has been a busy weekend for electric power crews and many of their Oconee County customers.  At last report, Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative counted 157 Oconee customers waiting to be re-connected.  Last evening Co-Op crews were in the last stage of restoring customers when a second line of storms hit.  Blue Ridge’s plan calls for its crews to have worked through the night.
