mysecretlife's blog post - slowly getting back to normal

This end of the state and parts of 4 others are getting over a big assed ice storm that happened 2 weeks ago tonight. Knocked out power to almost 1/2 million homes. Alot of ppl are still withour power and are being told it could be another two weeks. Nearly every tree has broken branches and many are little more than truncks with all the branches broken off. All the roads except the larger 4 lanes with no trees close were shutdown until ppl got out and just cut there way through. Biggest mess I ever saw. Probably about like a hurricane except the temps were well below freezing for a few days afterwards. Now you hear chain saws and generators in every direction. Piles of limbs everywhere you look. I would like to thank all the linemen and electrical workers from other areas that have come in. I have seen trucks from Al, GA, LA, MS, MI and TN. Some counties have had to completely rebuild their power grid.

Sometimes things like this will make ppl step back and think about the things that are or should be more important to them.

You all take care.
