Dominion Energy is proactively preparing for a winter storm impacting the Mount Pleasant, South Carolina area with freezing temperatures and gusty winds.
Crew Preparations
Crews staged early Friday in Mount Pleasant, loading trucks with supplies and safety gear to address potential power outages. They are monitoring conditions closely and may reposition within Dominion Energy’s local service territory as needed. Spokesperson Paul Fischer emphasized readiness for gusty winds as the storm exits.
Weather Outlook
Storm Team 2 forecasts another cold air mass arriving Tuesday night, heightening outage risks into next week. Crews will stay on standby through the weekend.
Safety Tips
Residents should use portable heaters away from flammables, report downed lines immediately (assuming they are live), charge phones, avoid open flames or indoor generators/grills, and sign up for outage alerts via the Dominion Energy app. These measures help minimize risks during the event.
