Ice Storm Leavis 1 Millions Without Power

From Main to Pennsylvania a storm wrecking havoc left sparkling, ice-covered landscape that was too destructive for many to find beautiful. The storm left 1.25 million homes and businesses in seven states without power as it forced schools to close.

At least one death was related to the storm: a 49-year-old Danville man who lived in a camper died of carbon monoxide poisoning after turning on his generator when his power went out Thursday night.

In Hampstead, N.H., Mark Cegelis, 36, said things were hectic at his neighborhood gas station, which was jammed with people trying to get gas for home generators.
