Carly Buccigrossi, Senior


According to the Weather Channel at least 13 people have been killed from the winter storm Gia, and around 100,000 people are still without power. In fact, an 81 year old was killed and 3 others were injured in a crash because of slick conditions on the road. There have now been over 500 recorded accidents due to the bad road conditions. 300 of those accidents were due to cars sliding off of the road. Furthermore, hundreds of people were left stranded on the roads last Friday night.

Governors from both Virginia and North Carolina have declared a state of emergency. Dozens of roads have been closed due to fallen trees. Many churches ended up cancelling their Sunday services as well due to these risky conditions.
