A Wisconsin man received an unusual wake-up call when a nearly 13-pound chunk of ice crashed through the ceiling of his bedroom.
Ken Millermon said he was in bed at his family's Elk Mound home when the 12.6-pound chunk of ice crashed through the roof and into his bedroom.
"It grazed me," Millermon told WQOW-TV.
The homeowner said he "would've probably been out, kicked the bucket" if the ice chunk had landed just inches away from where it fell.
He compared the sound of the crash to a shotgun blast.
The origin of the ice chunk is a mystery. The National Weather Service in Chanhassen, Minn., said storm clouds in the area Tuesday morning were not strong enough to cause hail the size of the ice chunk.
The ice chunk fell from the sky just under a week after a Florida family had a similar experience. The Martin County Sheriff's Office said a large chunk of ice crashed through the roof of a Palm City home on the morning of May 19.
The sheriff's office said origins of the ice chunk were unknown.

If it were blue, I’d say it came from an airliner waste system.

Popcorn ceilings are a crime against humanity. Or against Better Homes and Gardens at the very least.

He needs more insulation in his attic no matter what. In Wisconsin, at least another 16" of blow-in fiberglass. Should probably check his wall insulation while he's at it.
Upgrade the windows if he hasn't already done it.
