The Ice Storm of 1998 left more than half the population of the State of Maine without power. Central Maine Power Company line crews were joined by the National Guard and by 2000 forestry and utility workers from as far away as Ohio and North Carolina during the cleanup and power-restoration efforts, which lasted up to 23 days in the hardest-hit areas of the state.
