We had a nice one a couple years ago too 2004 IIRC. Even days afterward I still had over 1" tick ice on top of my truck, I had went out to lowes at lunchtime to get more stuff to fix my house where the tree had fallen on it and shoved that layer of ice off the top of the cap and when it hit the ground it shattered and a big chunk flew up and hit me and I was bleeding from it.
It had rained and turned to ice here and yould hear trees falling all night long and one fell on the line from the transformer to out house and ripped the pole and meter box off our house but we still had power. Insurance cpmpany told me to call and tree service and electrician but both were booked up for months so I made a hardware store trip and bought a new box and put it on the wall, bought a chainsaw and cut the tree off then my neighbor who is an electrician came over and clipped the live wires carefully so we could put the pole back up and we fed the wires through it and reconnected them.
We were lucky, many people were without power for a week or more and bugged out to hotels and such that still had power. My gas tank in my truck was pretty full but my wife's car was low so I drove out in the evening a day or so after the storm first hit and it was odd to be driving down a normall lit street and see everything dark, from houses to businesses. I finally found an open gas station who seemed to be raising the price between every customer and topped off her tank.
