Reply #59: Actually, that's exactly what happened. The ice brought down [View All]

thousands of large tree limbs which ripped down electrical wires and blew out transformers on their way to the ground. My power was out for five days. There was a run on ice chests, ice, dry ice and generators. I was able to save some, but not all of the freezer food. I'll admit I wasn't thinking too well at the time. There was no place to go. Nobody had power. There were no hotel rooms. My fireplace kept us slightly warm. If it happens again I'll be better prepared.
