ocal Weather Update – as of 12pm (9/28/24)

All parks remain closed. Power outages are widespread. We know you are stir crazy and want to get outdoors on a nice day, but conditions are NOT SAFE. Our crews are working as quickly as they can, but when people are in parks we can not run equipment to clear them. Parks and Public Works crews began work at 6am and will be out until dark. Be kind to them and give them thanks.

TRAFFIC LIGHTS. Many are out. Treat them like a four-way stop. Be patient with other drivers or stay home. Firefighters are now responding to wrecks as a result of failure to follow traffic laws.

We know trees are down and are blocking roadways, but many are entangled in power lines.
Those power lines could be live. Use caution even when walking in your neighborhood. Contact with those lines could electrocute you. Duke Energy is sending 5000 workers to the Upstate to restore power as quickly as possible. 

All Greenville Transit Authority Routes are suspended for Saturday. 

Over 80 traffic signals in the City of Spartanburg are down and many trees are yet to be removed. Stay off the roads.
