Wow, that looks a lot like the damage done by hurricane Ike, except for the weird clear stuff everywhere.

The weird clear stuff is called ice Blast. grin wink

The ice storms are the worst they cause so much damage. I would rather have 3 feet of snow.

It was strange because, where I live, it was fine, really rainy though. On my way to work it changed from wet to total ice, they ended up shutting down work that day. grin The power kept going out.

Anytime anyone wants to come up here and share in the fun we would love to have you. wink
