Weather impacted West Union area, especially
All sections of WGOG land have been impacted by the front that moved in like a prized fighter’s fist to the cheek. Especially affected this morning was the West Union Fire Department territory. For those cross-trained responders, the morning started with a tree down in front of Clarios, the former Johnson Controls plant. A power line fell across SC 11 at Davenport Funeral Home. SC 11 traffic there was re-routed to Collins Road; however, a tree fell onto Collins Road, requiring a cleanup. A tree fell on the Taylor Road, north of West Union, creating a power outage. Other trees blew down on Kermit Drive and Creekwood Drive. At 4:15 this morning, the wind intensified at West Union. 101.7/WGOG NEWS also learned of a brief electric power outage affecting Westminster customers.
