DANVILLE, Va. – Five days after an ice storm left thousands of Danville residents without power, the city is gearing up for round two.
Another storm is expected to coat Danville in a half an inch of ice, which could mean danger for both roads and power lines.
“I think it’s been 10 or 15 years since we’ve had a storm of this magnitude,” said Danville Public Works director Rick Drazenovich.
“We plan for the worst, and hope that it doesn’t happen,” said Danville emergency management director Tim Duffer.
