Any ETSers or your family in the path of this storm, stay safe.

This is the same type of storm that hit in my hometown in 78 (I'm pretty sure some peeps here may also remember that storm). Started as rain, turned to ice and then to snow ... LOTS of snow. Needless to say the combined weight of the ice and snow on the power lines snapped them apart all around. Our subdivision had to be evacuated, the snow was so deep the only way they could do it was to hook up a school bus to be towed in by a HUGE farm tractor. We stayed in town at a local church where they did have power, ate soup and other fare that was provided by the local grocery store owner. After a few days there we were able to get to my aunt and uncle's house in town, where we could shower and have a real meal. A day or so later we were able to return home. A very traumatic and scary time for an 8 year old boy, still have many memories from that time. I believe this is a picture of the county road that we lived off at the time.

Need I say again, anyone in the path of this storm stock up and stay safe.
