“Lines down everywhere”

A tree fell on a power line on West Union’s Main Street this afternoon–resulting in an electric power outage affecting about half of the town, as well as a nearby part of adjoining Walhalla.  Duke Energy crews have been called to the area of West Union Main Street near Town Hall.  Meantime, motorists should avoid that area and make alternate driving plans.  The tree that fell apparently took down a number of lines, including those porividing cable-TV service.
