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.

That was a cause of death on an episode of Six Feet Under, the best TV series of all time.
It was waste from an airplane that just happened to fall on a woman who ran outside to get better cell reception. So odd but obviously happens. Glad they were ok.

He needs more insulation in his attic no matter what. Do they even make Kevlar home insulation?

And get rid of that stupid popcorn ceiling. Depends on when the house was built. If before 1978, it probably has asbestos in it. If that is the case and unless he can't stand it, it's safer to just seal and paint over it.

Who knows? Maybe fell from ice build up on a plane/jet liner that was WAY up high in the atmosphere? Just a guess.
To: Red Badger
It’s easy to get rid of popcorn ceiling. Have it tested. If there is no asbestos, get it wet and just scrape it off.
If it does have asbestos, wear protective gear and do the same. The key is to keep it really wet. If there are no airborne fibers, it is very safe to remove it yourself. Drape the floor and walls with plastic film, spray down the film of the walls when done; and wrap it all up and place in a contractor 3 mil bag.
Several YouTube videos on how to do it yourself. It’s an easy job. Hire a contractor, and it gets very expensive.
