Quotes from the following article are below:
http://www.wral.com/news/1820816/detail.html

"RALEIGH, N.C. -- The worst winter ice storm in decades left millions of
North
  Carolinians without power Thursday as tree limbs crashed down on
electrical
  lines and brought the state to a standstill.

Duke Power, with 2.1 million customers in North and South
  Carolina, said more than half - 1.2 million - were without
  electricity Thursday, far surpassing the record number
  affected when Hurricane Hugo tore through the region in
  1989.

  Carolina Power & Light reported a peak of 466,000
  customers without service, most in the Triangle area."
