ATLANTA (AP) - Eighty-year-old oak trees and utility poles toppled under the weight of ice as a stronger-than-expected storm battered northern Georgia and spread rain and snow elsewhere along the East Coast. More than 500,000 utility customers were blacked out during the weekend storm in Georgia, most in the Atlanta area, and some 170,000 still had no heat or lights Monday. Officials said it could be Tuesday before most see service restored. The storm early Sunday also dropped snow and freezing rain on other parts of the southern Appalachians, and locally heavy rain fell across coastal areas of Georgia and the Carolinas. Up to 8 inches of snow fell in some areas of North Carolina.
