ICE STORM 2007

Here are some pictures from the ice storm last Sunday. It started early Sunday and lasted until Monday. During the night Sunday the trees breaking off kept waking us up. It is crazy to see a tree that has been standing for years suddenly become weakened by the ice and break. It wasn't just flimsly limbs that broke but I saw some very large trees split down the middle. Here are a few pictures I took. It is really hard to explain the craziness this caused. There were roads blocked by fallen trees, cars damaged, houses damaged. The first few days it was very eery. It looked like we had a tornado come through.

These are trees behind our house.








Ice on our house.




Trees down in my MIL's neighborhood.






Down powerlines by my mil's house


This is blocking a road.

WINTER ICE STORM

It has been a crazy few days around here. The town I live in is completely without power. There are so many trees down in the streets and roads are blocked. It is crazy right now. Please keep us in your prayers. They said we could be with out power for 7-10 days. Driving last night to my MIL's was difficult. Trees all in the streets, power lines are down. It makes driving very difficult. I am at work right now. Thankfully there is power here. I pray they are able to restore power to everyone soon. I hope to be able to post pictures soon.
