More than 77,000 without power in Georgia after ice storm

ATLANTA (AP) - Utility companies say more than 77,000 Georgia customers remain without power as crews work to clear downed trees and power lines.

Georgia’s electric membership cooperatives reported that more than 49,200 customers throughout the state were without power Tuesday night after an ice storm coated much of northeast Georgia. A Georgia Power outage map also said more than 27,800 of its customers were without power.

The winter storm also caused some flight delays at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Federal Aviation Administration air traffic control data said flights to New York’s LaGuardia Airport were delayed by an average of an hour and 16 minutes. FAA data also said flights destined for San Francisco were delayed by an average of roughly one hour and 15 minutes.
