KINSTON, NC (AP) — Some residents in Kinston are seeing more than just a vine in a growth of kudzu on a local utility pole.
The Free Press of Kinston reports that people began noticing a utility pole last week with kudzu that they say resembles Jesus on the cross.
Kent Hardison runs Ma's Hot Dog stand and a half mile from the vine and says he was getting ready to spray it with herbicide until he noticed the resemblance.
Hardison and his customers think the vine can be seen as a symbolic reminder that God is watching over people.
But Kudzu Jesus may also cause some problems. A University of Maryland biology professor says kudzu costs power companies about $1.5 million a year to repair damaged lines
