Ice Storm 2008















The warnings of a major ice storm seemed to be heeded man and beast alike. But I don't think anyone was prepared for such wide spread damage. I believe our entire neighborhood lost power by 8am Friday morning and some of us had power around 10pm Sunday. But it was unstable and not reliable. We left for Christmas Eve service at 5pm and alot of the homes were still dark, but when we came back home the rest of the neighborhood was lit up again. At night our neighborhood was eerily beautiful! I was encouraged to see us helping each other throughout this time. from what I could see, we all had damage to one degree or another. Some of us had REAL troubles and the beauty was hard to find.
