Severe weather caused no problems last night for members of Blue Ridge Electric Membership Corporation, although linemen just completed restoration to 30 members who briefly lost power Saturday morning.
As of 9:30 a.m., 30 members in the Deep Gap area of Watauga County were restored with power after being affected for just under an hour. Linemen report very slick road conditions and urge members to use caution if traveling.
