Description
The not so pretty aftermath of the ice storm.
Clockwise from the top right...
My parent's front yard; My parent's back yard; A few blocks from my house (blurred the license for privacy); My neighbor across the street (just about every tree they had fell and left branches all over)
The community has really pulled together. My son's Highschool offered the showers yesterday until 7:00 pm for those who needed them. There are several shelters located in each town for warmth. My parents neighbors had generators and a huge barn and housed 5 families. We stayed at my parents (no electricity, but they had a wood burning stove). So we are all taking care of each other. I'll post some more of the pretty pictures over the next several days...It really was beautiful. Natures deadly decorations.

When I was very young, we had a freak storm blow in. The blizzard locked us in our homes for 7 full days. The plows couldn't get to us and the drifts nearly covered ever house on the block. Good thing we always kept a larder full of supplies just in case. :-) These shots are very clear and your narative is great. Glad to know you are ok.
excelente collage un gran punto de vista bravo
Even in this destruction, there is beauty as well. Great fotos, for someone like me who's never see this kind of weather, it's even more powerful!!
EXCELLENT, MY FRIEND!!!!!!! Roby :O)
Wow! Great interesting captures! Excellent collage!!!
OH NO, you were right my friend I had to look away after seeing them. The photos are great of course but the memories too strong still. The horrible ice storm last year at this time is the reason I purchased my first chainsaw and I had no idea I'd have to use it again this season
Fantastic work,
wow! Nature is amazing and powerful. These are great images. I hope things clean up and get back to normal for you soon.
With the exception, albeit a large one, of the destruction it is almost pretty the way the ice hangs onto everything!!!!
Nice documentary work....brings back alot of mememories. Great that everyone dose seem to help each other in times like these. When ours hit we had no electriic for 3 weeks..the powerline poles broke in half...like a beautiful swan turned into a ugly duckling. Take care.
Amazing collage !

Interesting collection of pix and hope you don't get any more storms like that !

Super work on this lovely tender scene.
Excellent shots. Just seeing them and I'm getting cold. I imagine what must have been being caught under this ice storm. I hope nobody got hurt.
what an amazing experience...hope all goes well from here on in. Your images really capture the mood, stark and frozen!
I would be heartbroken about losing those old trees, hope everyone was safe!
So wonderful and so dangerous - the nature.
Impressive collage of the aftermath. So glad everyone pulled together in the face of such adversity.

Very impressive collage. The many icicles!!! Much damage, but great pictures.
There are a lot of desroying powers around our world and it is not easy to live with them I guess, it's always great to know that ther are good neighbors around. Take care, hug's Ute
