The BIG problem here in North Carolina is the Long needle pines in that they hold moisture and as the moisture freezes the branches get heavy and snap. also with the amount of ice and snow we got it wreakes havoc on all the rest of the fauna and flora here. many areas around Southern Pines are still without power as I write. Great credit MUST go to CP/L for their dedicated people and the LOOONNNGGG hard hours they all have put in.
God Bless them

 Help
Mike Reese holds a "CP&L HELP!" sign on a highway near Wake Forest, N.C., on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2002, hoping it will help him get his power back sooner. Reese and more than a million people lost power in North Carolina when a winter ice storm hit earlier this week. Some 720,000 were still without power on Saturday, officials said.
