Ice Storm

We have been suffering an ice storm. Our power went out wed night around 10 then came back on at 1:00 am thurs only to go off again at 6am. It didn't come back on till 3am this morning (fri). Last night Kaitlyn and I stayed at my in-laws and Jacob stayed with a friend. No damage here at the house and our trees have fared pretty well. No more limbs down than during the average thunderstorm. It's good to be back home. I felt like a refugee. Thank God it isn't as bad as the ice storm we had 14 yrs ago. Back then we were without power for NINE DAYS! That one happened in march and at least 3 days after the storm struck, the temp rose to the high 60's low 70's. Anyway, as far as natural disasters go, this is nothing. God bless all the victims of the tsunami....and once again thank God for ELECTRICITY!
ps. Of course if we BURIED our power lines like they do in Germany, we wouldnt have this problem!
