The Devastation of the 1998 Hallowell Ice Storm
The Ice Storm of 1998 left a huge trail of destruction in its wake. Many people were left without power and many others with something that they could hardly call a home. With roofs caved in from the amount of ice buildup and yards filled with broken branches and trees felled by the amount of ice that had built up on them. The storm lasted for days. Some people even died because they didn’t have heat or their heater gave off killing fumes. The ice storm caused so much damage throughout Maine that power companies from Massachusetts and New Hampshire came over to help reconnect power lines but they only sent theirs over when there worst places were completed.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!
Today a man has died due to carbon monoxide poisoning. The sources of this deadly gas turned out to be none other than a generator recently installed. The man had not yet known that this dangerous gas was slowly killing him until it was too late. This harmful and in most cases deadly gas has side affects that are usually mistaken for a flu such as, headaches, dizziness, disorientation, nausea and fatigue. If you own a generator make sure you keep it out doors because even if you have a ventilation system you still may not be safe from this harmful gas.
