Huntley Hit Hard By St
The Village of Huntley, as most of the rest of Northern Illinois ex¬ perienced the worst ice storm in modern memories last Saturday, January 23. The storm started on Friday with rain, which during the night turned to f r e e z,i n p rain coating the trees, electric and tele¬ phone wire."? with ice. At 9:30 a.m. on Saturday Huntley experienced its first power failure. The lights
were only off for a few moments at that time, then they came back on for approximately o n e - h a 1 f hour. The lights went off again and stayed off until power was re- ."itored at approximately 12 noon. At a little before 6 p.m. and re¬ mained off until shortly after 11 p.m. on some parts of Huntley. In many other sections of town cur¬ rent remained off until lat Satur-
ortn
day night. The rural areas were perhaps the hardest hit by the storm. In some sections three and four eieotric poles in a row were down. Some residents from these areas came into town to set up make shift quarters in the church and the school or in private homes and businesses.
