This is my backyard from 2007 ice storm in MO. This was just the first day of crashing limbs. It was much worse. I feel so bad for those that are living through the ice and cold now.
Luckily, we had a generator that we bought for Y2K. It was well worth it. Plugged our furnace into it and had heat, tv, fridge, and lights. Unfortunately we didn't have water (well).
