Winter Blizzard Dumps Heavy Snowfall
The state's second major snow
norm of the year, the worst
in recent history, dumped 16
18 inches of snow in Duplin
County Friday and Saturday.
High winds resulted in drifts
up to four feet deep in sections .
of the county. Many motorists
were stranded and had to a
bandon their car and seek re- j
fuge in near by homes.
State work crews found it
almost Impossible to clear the
- highways because of drifts and
stranded vehicles. All primary
roads in the county were pass
able Tuesday but many secon
dary roads were still not clear.
The snow came virtually wi
thout warning and spread across
much of the Southeast. Usually
balmy central Georgia was blan
keted by a record 15 inches
of snow. Many cities were
paralyzed especially along the ?
coast.
Many businesses in Duplin
County operated on a limited
schedule Sat. and Monday. Sc
hools in the county were closed
Monday, Tuesday and Wednes
day. The schools superinten
dent's office reported Tuesday
that they were contacting each
principal in the county to find
out road conditions in the areas
of their school. "We are taking
each day at a time and want
to o|en the schools as soon
as possible" a spokemans said.
Dr. L.U. Chandler, administ
rator of Duplin General Hospital,
reported they had as many or \
more patients at the hospital j
-*tsd nurses worhqdjdoubte shtf"' ?'
ts during the snow storms.
? "One doctor didn't leave the
hospital from Friday noon un
til Monday afternoon." Also
another doctor was driven by
"tractor out to see a woman
who they thought was bleeding
to death." "One nurses aid
at Duplin General was on her
way home Snnday after working
double duty and fell on the
ice and brake her ankle. Her
mother and husband were al
ready patients at the hospital."
Dr. Chandlar praised the doc
tors, nurses, ambulance ser
vice and highway patrolman for
there dedication during the crip
pling snow.
