COMMENDING AND THANKING THE CITIES OF GREENVILLE, GAFFNEY, AND ORANGEBURG FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING EFFORTS IN OVERCOMING THE DEVASTATING RESULTS OF THE ICE STORM OF LATE DECEMBER, 1992, WHICH AFFECTED A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE STATE.
Whereas, a destructive ice storm hit a wide area of South Carolina in late December, 1992, leaving chaos in its wake at holiday time and directly affecting many thousands of South Carolinians; and
Whereas, the City of Greenwood, for example, had 8,000 homes without electricity and Greenwood County had 16,000 homes without electricity; and
Whereas, the City of Gaffney and the City of Orangeburg promptly responded by providing personnel to help restore electricity in areas hit hard by the storm, and the City of Greenville acted quickly by offering personnel in the matter of the removal of debris; and
Whereas, the efforts of these municipalities were outstanding and greatly alleviated the suffering and anxiety of many people; and
Whereas, the leaders and citizens of these cities are greatly deserving of recognition and an expression of gratitude for their contributions and efforts in this matter. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, commends and thanks the cities of Greenville, Gaffney, and Orangeburg for their outstanding efforts in overcoming the devastating results of the ice storm of late December, 1992, which affected a significant portion of the State.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the mayors and city councils of the cities of Greenville, Gaffney, and Orangeburg.
