Ice Storm Damage

This past week was a really bad ice storm. It was weird though, because the roads never got bad. The ice just coated our cars, houses, grass and trees. Oh, the trees. It is so sad what ice can do. We lost electricity on Monday night and it didn't come back on until Wed. night. Two nights of being on an air mattress at John and Janet's. Thank goodness we had somewhere to go though. So many people didn't. We are so blessed to have family who will share their home with us. I wanted to share some pictures so my out-of-state friends and family could see what kind of damage it did.

Oh, the Christmas program got postponed. Our church didn't get power back on until Friday afternoon, so we're having practice and setting up the stage tomorrow and the program will be on Wednesday. So wish us luck! We lost a big part of our tree.

The ice was 1/2" thick!




Look how the wind blew the ice as it formed. From the other side.

This leaf looks like it is stuck in an ice hand. Freaky!


Our little tree's top ended up touching the ground, but it bounced back.


It was like each blade of grass was surrounded by ice.

This is John and Janet's neighbor. Their tree fell on their house.

Up the street from John and Janet. It's like a giant bowling ball fell on these trees and splintered them all.

These giant limbs fell in John and Janet's backyard.
