SNOW - ICE STORM

I don't know how it happened, but it seems everyone around us is without electricity after a major snow ice storm here. We had tornado warnings, wind warnings, and an ice storm. Our electricity flickered a few times, but never went out. In our area it was said on the news 65% of the area is without electricity. Our phone service is out though but were told it should be on by 8 p.m. Saturday night. It looks beautiful outside with icicles hanging from all the trees. But, along with this a LOT of branches are down, and several large ones just missed our vehicles. When we walk outside it sounds almost like gun-shot with the ice crackling and you can hear the branches cracking from the woods.

We are safe and warm. We are thankful! :)
