Power Crews Continue to Restore Power in SC

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Power continues to be restored to electric customers across South Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Matthew.
Utility outage maps show that about 152,000 electric customers across the state remained without power on Wednesday afternoon. That’s down from about 180,000 Wednesday morning and from about 850,000 at the height of the storm that blew in last week.
Of the 152,000 customers still without power, about 30,000 live in Florence County where there has been widespread flooding.
