Read full article: Danville prepares for its second severe ice storm this weekDANVILLE, 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. However, Drazenovich said the brine has its limits if Danville receives a sizable amount of ice. We’re making sure our generators are in good shape.”Downed trees were a major reason why more than 20,000 Danville households were left without power after Saturday’s ice storm.
