ny history.” Half the company’s
customers woke up without pow
er yesterday.
“We have approximately 1.2
million customers, half of our to
tal customer base, without power
this morning,” Ferrell said. “This
ice storm surpasses the damage
from Hurricane Hugo in 1989,
which had 696,000 outages.”
School officials must make
snap decisions about school clos
ings with the worst in mind.
“A situation like this, when it’s
not started but it’s forecasted,
makes it extremely difficult to
make a decision,” said Winston
Salem, N.C., school spokesman
Doug Hinson, before the school
closed on Wednesday.
The forecasts prompted the
South Carolina Office of Human
Resources to halt operations at 1
p.m. Wednesday until 10:30 a.m.
yesterday. The governor then
closed central state government
offices.
“We, as a general rule, follow
whatever the governor orders for
central state government,” said
Russ McKinney, university
spokesman. “There’s an e-mail
system that advises us.”
But some USC students were
not happy about the closings.
“It was fun because we didn’t
have classes,” said Kathryn Toole, a
first-year electronic journalism stu
dent, “but was ridiculous because
it didn’t really do anything outside.”
“We were supposed to have a
final in Biology 110,” said
Benjamin Morrison, a third-year
experimental psychology student.
“Now, I’ll have to be here until the
16th to take the final, When I was
supposed to be here till the 13th.
I don’t know what these Northern
kids think of us when there’s a
chance of a freeze and they call ev
erything off. It’s ridiculous.”
