Utility crews race to restore power to 1.5 million in Carolinas
An armada of cherry picker trucks gathered at Lowes Motor Speedway as repair crews from across the South battled an ice storm in the Carolinas. Ten thousand workers raced to restore power to nearly 1.5 million customers, with outages tallied at CP&L 352,333 in Raleigh, Duke Power 844,000 in NC and 215,000 in SC, plus 92,000 for NC Electric Cooperatives. The crews warned power would not return until next Wednesday night, a week after the storm began, as ice-laden trees continued to fall on lines and hinder progress.
