The biggest recent natural disaster that nobody ever heard of was a similar ice storm in eastern Canada, upstate New York and New England in January of 1998.
Freezing rain fell for more than three days, and by the time it was over there were several million people without power -- several hundred thousand of them for three or more weeks, and in the dead of winter when temperatures in some areas dropped below zero.
It's been estimated that the fallen trees numbered in the millions, along with more than 100 high-tension towers and 30,000 utility poles.
No reports of looting that I'm aware of.

That is cool. It looks like some cyclopsian undersea critter.
