It was wonderful to be with S.C. Dept. of Natural Resources Director Tom Mullikin and the SC7 team today hiking at Jones Gap — a stone’s throw away from my home in the Upstate. Eco-tourism is a critical part of our economy and a wonderful way to experience all the natural beauty South Carolina has to

Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible across the western Carolinas & NE Georgia this afternoon and evening. While the overall threat is highest over the I-77 corridor, severe storms could develop anywhere across our area.

It was a privilege to be recognized as the honorary team of the day at Tuesday's SC7 Expedition at Jones Gap State Park. Over the past week, we've had the chance to participate in several outdoor events highlighting our state's natural beauty and the pledge to conserve it.

Great to spend some time Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative ⚡️ on the trail with SC7, especially the brave linemen who work hard to keep our lights on. We must continue our work — collaborating with SC energy companies — to ensure we have reliable, affordable, and abundant energy in SC.

This afternoon looks like another hot and humid one, with the apparent temperature climbing above 100 F in many places outside the mountains, at least until one of numerous thunderstorms comes along to briefly cool it off. Let's be careful out there! #scwx #ncwx #gawx

One more hot day to start the work week, but we hopefully get a break from the heat during the middle part of the week. In the mean time, whatever you do, make sure you DON'T leave your kids or pets in your hot car today! Check the back seat! #scwx #ncwx #gawx #cltwx

FIELD REPORT 📝 Instrumentation Department Supervisor Matthew Martin recently gave us an on-the-job look at what a regulator changeout looks like. These massive regulators keep voltage at a constant level, no matter the user demand on the system. It was awesome to see these guys

Much needed cool down for the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia for the first few days of August. Temperatures will struggle to get into the 80s by the upcoming weekend. #scwx #ncwx #gawx
